I was sure it was a feature before of WWF, but it doesn't seem to be adding rel="nofollow" to posted hyperlinks (anymore)?

Example (view source)

Comes out in code as:

<a href="http://www.scirra.com" target="_blank">http://www.scirra.com</a>

My setup file has:

Const blnNoFollowTagInLinks = True

I suspect it might be a bug from the last update as this forum doesn't nofollow the links, but I've been wrong before, it might be me being stupid again!

Line 157 in functions/filters is set to:

If blnNoFollowTagInLinks Then strTempHTMLMessage = strTempHTMLMessage & ""

Quick fix, change it to

If blnNoFollowTagInLinks Then strTempHTMLMessage = strTempHTMLMessage & " rel=""nofollow"" "

Thanks Gullanian.

Looks like a global search and replace may have striped that part of the code.

Q1: If i set the forum to "NoFollow" Links...

    does it apply to internal links to the forum's own domain as well ??
 
 
Q2: Has the above reported bug been fixed in V 10.03 ?

This bug was fixed some time ago.

The nofollow is applied to all links within posts and any other user links such as homepage links.

Is it possible to exclude the "NoFollow" tag if the target domain is the same domain of the forum ?
 
The forum is part of a big site & many discussions Refer to in site links.
 
I wonder if no one thought about it before ... a forum should support its own site ... Hug

All posted links will have 'nofollow' including ones to other parts of the forums hosted website as trying to calculate which is an internal and external link would be very difficult to calculate and be error prone.
