    If you want to add nofollow to a specific link, do it like below.
    <a href="example.html" rel="nofollow">Example</a>

    If you want to add nofollow to all of the links in the page, just add following meta data to the head section.
    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,NOFOLLOW">

    Yes, that's correct shown by ag9.

    you can use like

    rel="external nofollow" instead of rel="nofollow"

    Both treat the links as the same.

    You really only want to have nofollow on external links or pages on your site that you think are of low importance (i.e. about, contact, etc.).

    Yeah, thats how to do it

    <a href="example.html" rel="nofollow">Example</a>

    You will need to manually put the no follow Attribute in all links

    if you view your source of a forum containining your link in the post and no nofollow in the href, does it mean that forum dont use nofollow rule?

    or is there an override command to set the whole forum nofollow?

    The way the link is formatted is all you have to look at. So if you don't see the tag when you view the source it's not there.

    put it on out=external links
    don’t put for example on subdomain of your site cuz that’s will not help your subdomain ranking

    no follow tags are best used for

    a. external links to sites that are not your own
    b. pages on your own site that are not 100% relevant to your content, such as legal terms and conditions or a standard privacy policy statement.

    No. Add it to the Meta (for all pages) or to each link individually.

    If you're handy with PHP you can use output buffers to rewrite all of it on the fly.
