Hide Member List From Google?

[wayne.richards@]

My board is viewable to admin approved registered users only so google cant cache any pages, the annoying this is it can cache my member list and a site:www search lists all my members, is there any way to stop this happening, went through the settings but cant spot one to hide it.

Any help would be very much appriciated!

exchange forums with your directory.

It will take a few days to take place, as google will have to release your pages.
