[release] Make your forums Googlebot-friendly · **Released**: 11-09-2002

Author: filburt1
Description: This lets Googlebot crawl your forums and threads; GB will only crawl threads in the first page of thread listings however. This requires Apache with .htaccess support of mod_rewrite; if you don't know what any of those are, you might have problems with this mod.
Demo: http://www.webdesignforums.net/
Screenshot: n/a

I got the idea from a hack at vB.org, and posted at vB.com only to have it sink into oblivion. So I posted it here.

Apply these template modifications to your default style set. You can apply it to more, but if you don't do at least the default set the modifications will be useless. In addition WOL will show "Unknown Location: [link]" but the actual links it references will still work.

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