    Oh Ok it means i have to act upon instructions not to paste this cod anywhere :).
    Is that only thing to do for SEOing phpBB ...?
    Or anyother thing is required?

    Thats it for modifying SID, but I would do all the steps minus the mod_rewrite. Doesnt take that long I did it all to a forum yesterday in about 10 minutes.

    I dont know what to say if you edited includes/sessions.php and replaced that line and saved it then it should work.

    You can always download phpbb2 again and then just reupload that single file and start over with the editing if you didn't create a backup first.

    Removing SID really is all there is too it, I looked at rewriting too first, but as soon as the SID was gone googlebot was all over the pages.

    I noticed sid=xxxxxxx only appears on index.php page when i log in.But when i visit forums it disappears.
    Now things are on right way?
    Or sid should entirely gone even on that single page after log in?

    It does not remove session ids from everyone. PHPBB still needs session ids for logged in users.. It removes them for guests.

    So log out and you will not see any session ids.
