    Hi there...

    Does anybody know something i can to avoid that SE spiders follow outgoing links in phpBB.

    I don´t want SE to think i am lnking to porn or linkfarms....
    And some older users have such content in their profile.

    maybe a mod or something...

    I know about that mod that avoids posts with links before a certain number of text posts.... but the profiles of the elder users.... hmmmm.... spammers
    are still there. and i can find them googling for them.

    Thanx.

    You could modify the post parser (and HTML for profile views or anywhere else external links are found) and add the rel="nofollow" attribute.
