The "no follow" in the header meta will tell spiders to not follow any links at all, including to the rest of your own site.

true. they are different. I run a private forum that has no interest in being indexed or spammed or followed, so that is why I added those, but I see your point, and this was not the intent of this hack, and I apologize. Feel free to delete my posts on this topic and the whole "no follow" discussion.
