No ! Robots.txt in this subject doesn't solve the second problem : if members click the links on " forumhome" and they link to your forums pages with ..showthread.php?p=[postid] ...actually it dilutes your incoming link from other sites !!
You should fix the duplicate URLs to get the better incoming links from other sites !! This is what I believe !
If you improve the duplication links and prevent the others to link the ( showthread.php?p=xxx) surely it improves your incoming links and better !
Surely if someone buy the vbseo ... it acts exactly the same ( certainly by rewrite ) ... you can see the
http://vbseo.com/forums ... and see the links of the threads on forumehome ... They are exactly the same as using this mode ! Both link to the URL with " thread id " !
This modification is the best for thoes who do NOT want use rewrite to fix forumhome URLs.
I think it should be the vBulletin default !
