    When spidering a phpBB forum (and most other 'systems'), it is important to filter out certain URLs.

    Why include a 'quote', 'new post', 'reply' URL for every ACTUAL post on your forums? Other considerations are the session IDs that show up in your URLs and potentially create 3.4(plus 38 zeros) different URLs for each 'actual' URL.

    Most sessionIDs use a 32-bit hex string offering 16^32 possible combinations for EACH URL. No, Google isn't being mean when they don't accept urls using sessionIDs. Although some DO get into their index, you are FAR better off without them.

    There is a phpbb mod out there that does it for you. Search for it. If not, pm me and i'll get you the link tomorrow when my day starts up again.
