Vbulletin and search engines

Hi,

I run a web site where I've created "custom" (about us etc.) pages based on the vbulletin template. These pages lives on the domain root, my forum lives in a sub-directory called "/forum".

Recently I've been looking at what is , and where we are ranked under Google, Yahoo, MSN etc. Suprisingly its quite good. I always believed forum software was un-indexable by search engines.

My "problem" is if I do a search for all pages on "mydomain.com", I get a list of all the pages indexed. The search engine has/is indexing the /forum/member.php page for each user i.e. /forum/member.php?u=104

Is there a way of removing, and/or not allowing search engines to index those pages in future?? Ideally id want to index (only) my non-forum pages, and possibly "/forum/index.php". Thats it.

Any hints and tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
