Disallow: /forums/images/
Disallow: /forums/includes/
Disallow: /forums/language/
Disallow: /forums/templates/
Disallow: /forums/common.php
Disallow: /forums/groupcp.php
Disallow: /forums/memberlist.php
Disallow: /forums/modcp.php
Disallow: /forums/posting.php
Disallow: /forums/profile.php
Disallow: /forums/privmsg.php
Disallow: /forums/viewonline.php
Disallow: /forums/faq.php
Disallow: /forums/updates-topic
Disallow: /forums/stop-updates-topic

A bot comes in as a guest and hence won't see most of that anyway. User-agent: * Disallow: /forums/groupcp.php Disallow: /forums/memberlist.php Disallow: /forums/posting.php Disallow: /forums/profile.php Disallow: /forums/privmsg.php Disallow: /forums/viewonline.php Disallow: /forums/faq.php is probably enough, good tip though as do not have this currently. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

So there were two errors in the line! $last_post .= ( $forum_data[$j]['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS ) ? ( ($forum_data[$j]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $forum_data[$j]['post_username'] . ' ' : $lang['Guest'] . ' ' ) : $forum_data[$j]['username'] . '</a> '; is probably what you need. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
