It's images placed into posts by users using the [IMG] code rather than in a text link.

I'm actually trying to figure out a way of stopping users from posting images into the forum via this [IMG] code rather than using the attachments method - Any ideas how I can do this if the nofollow route isn't possible?

One small observation:

I've noticed that when the thread containing any external links in the post is archived by vbulletin, the link displayed in the post seems to lose the nofollow attribute, so I assume that all links are once again followed by search engines who are viewing the archive pages.

You can check this out by clicking on the 'archive' link shown at the bottom of most vBulletin forums, then selecting a thread with an external link in it and viewing the source code.

Is there any way of adding the nofollow code into the archive???

I have it installed and working well.

Is there any way it can be modifed so the the rel="nofollow" is not added to internal links. We do a lot of linking between threads and the rel="nofollow" is added to all links. It would be good if it was applied only to links going off-site/external.

In admincp_>vbulletin options -> nuhit urls -> internal domains:
Set internal domains with a comma separated list of domains.

Nope. Thats does not work.

You will need to rebuild post cache before any changed take effect.

Thanks, but tried that and it did not work either.

BUT, I got it working. Changed the domain in the list of internal domains to domain.com and not http://www.domain.com.

The FAQ's and instructions should be changed to reflect that.

Indeed. It needs to be domain.com to work. This should be added.

Hi,

I apologize if I overlooked this, but I've noticed the "nofollow" tag on some other links, and I just want to make sure this is correct. Like on links like this:

and

...for example

Just a few examples. Are these suppose to be "nofollow" too (that might even be standard from VB, I'm not sure. But any opinion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
