Well, heck.... if you remove the permission for guests to view profiles, that solves half of your issue right there.

?

Guests can still click the links to go to the profile pages, it doesn't 404, it's just crawlers that I am trying to stop getting to the profile pages, or flowing equity to them.

I have plans to re-add the links tonight when I made some changes to the footer.

I wouldn't advise it unless you truly know what you're doing, no. Look at your logs before doing any nofollows/disallows.

I'm just going to leave this here - and as far as I know this policy hasn't changed - https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2298312/matt-cutts-you-dont-have-to-nofollow-internal-links

If Matt Cutts says this is the case, I'd be inclined to agree. However, in your case I wouldn't even try to nofollow half the things you have as links, I'd simply look to removing them entirely, but that's another ball of wax entirely.

Sorry, I recently re-designed the footer and forgot about these links, I'll get those added.

When is this going to happen? I like your forum and hope it does well, so I am trying to be as respectful as I can. That being said though; you removed the SMF copyright once before and presumably put it back when you were told then to add it back if you wanted  support.

The few times I have been to your forum over the last few months, I have never seen the copyright for simple portal nor have I seen one for the paid SMF tricks theme you are using- so this is not a new thing based on recent file changes.

I will give you the benifit of the doubt that you actually paid for the theme, but I'm not as sure you paid extra for copyright removal (or if that's even an option with SMF Tricks)

Like I said; I do like your forum and hope it does well. But for someone that seems to have put in as much time and effort into it as you have, it would be nice if you would show respect to the people that spent their time and effort creating something that has helped you enhance your site like it has
