Hi BOP5 and all,
Question for you if I may
I regularly check google webmaster tools for crawl errors such as this, on our forum
www.legalbeagles.info/forums/ we have a VIP area
http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...-MEMBERS-FORUM which google obviously does not have crawl access to.
If a member posts(publicly and crawlable) a link to a thread/post contained in the VIP area google crawls that post, tries to follow the link and comes up with the no permissions page.
This is then logged as a soft 404 error in webmaster tools. What is the best way to either return a different code that will not affect the crawl errors or prevent it from returning an error?
Would this mod fix this?
