How to add NOFOLLOW to PhpBB?

    I am wondering how I could add nofollow tag to:

    1) outgoing links on the forum
    2) inbound links such as membership, User CP, Log in, etc. pages, which unnecessarily dilute PR power, and confuse the search engines by preventing them from focusing on crawling the real topics.

    Well outgoing links can be changed in BBCODE.html in your template folder.

    On #2, use the built in switches around the stuff you don't want to appear for bots. Such as:

    <!-- IF not S_IS_BOT -->

    Link here

    <!-- ENDIF -->

    Thanks a lot for the reply ascensions!

    Can you also please explain it in a little bit simpler terms? That would be great! :)
