We had a problem using this mod where pages were cached on the error code.
Adding
Before any BOP header() line which meant error pages are not cached.

Thanks, I will add that to the next version. :up:

Where to copy this part of code? :)

A question please...

Every time i see in webmasters three errors 403 and the url like this.
attachment.php?attachmentid=2178&d=xxxxxx
attachment.php?attachmentid=4659&d=xxxxxx
attachment.php?attachmentid=1721&d=xxxxxx

It says Access Denied, as very little i understand this is what supposed to be. I always make the action that they are fixed and after one day same thing happens.

Why does google read these over and over, if it cannot access them, even in robots.txt i have Disallow: /attachment.php, even if i delete this Disallow, same thing happens, i waited 4 days for robots to take effect with out the Disallow, nothing changed.

Do i must No Permission HTTP Code change from 403 to something else?

Any help will be grateful, thanks

I'm really not sure why Google does the things it does. I would think robots.txt should be preventing access completely. It seems like a question to ask on the Google support site. Sorry.

Google dont index robots.txt stuff but they will still follow links to areas covered by it, pretty sure thats what I read a few years ago.

Ok thanks both for answers, i see the way to ask google.

Getting 404 errors on tags.php?tag=<forum> for users who are not logged on. I'm guessing that this is because I have search blocked to the public. Is there a work around?

Doesn't work.

Not that I am aware. Are you saying this mod is causing the errors? If tag searched is blocked to the public a 404 seems like the appropriate response.

You'll need to be more specific if you want help, it's obviously working for most people.
