- Go to fresh installed RC5 forum as a guest with a browser having no history etc of the forum (tested in these conditions)

When clicked over a topic I got this URL

--- Code: ---http://localhost/rc5/index.php?PHPSESSID=4knrmpms15r5986rb51a925gt0&topic=9.msg11#new
--- End code ---

- Browser - Safari 5, Opera 11.
- OS - Windows 7.

That is entirely irrelevant to rel="canonical". You have to view source to check what the canonical URL is.

I wasn't talking of the rel="canonical" , but isn't the url looks absurd, like if the guest want to show the user to someone or even if the guest user wants to bookmark it.

This is in RC4 for sure, and I may have seen it in RC5, so it may have not been fixed.

But the main idea is that the PHPSESSID should not be in the rel="canonical" URL, or otherwise it defeats the purpose of having rel="canonical" in the first place.

All the otherstuff (ie. #quickreply) has correctly been stripped out of the rel="canonical" URL.

Same Issue . How to solve this problem.

emanuele:
Hello shubha,

in fact it shouldn't be particularly relevant: (known) bots don't see it (there is a check on that), so it should affects only non-(known)-bots and humans that visit your site. Humans wouldn't notice and it will affect only the first page view, non-(known)-bots can be reported somewhere somewhere here to update the script. :)
