I have resolved the issue. I am not sure how you were set to be locked out.

No, its a huge pain in the ass. I do it out of some perverse sense of duty to finish what I started.

Can new members post threads in the General Discussion after 15 days or only reply to threads?

That hardly answers the question.

In the SIGNATURES paragraph of Basic Forum Rules & Guidelines it states:

I cannot find that thread. Has it gone missing?

I would like to review the rules.

When someone posts a link in a message, the system puts a "no follow" in front of it and the spiders won't pick it up. Can this be changed so the spiders will pick up links from TW?

Here's an example. In this thread I post the link to Digg. TW reformats it and makes it look pretty in the message using the thread title from Digg.
http://www.tribalwar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473153

Now I view source on that part of the message and find this.

<div id="post_message_11140057 ">No, it's because of this...<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Water_Main_Breaking_Overn ight_Street_Parking_Funny _Pics#c5220393" target="_blank">Digg - Water Main Breaking, Overnight Street Parking = Funny Pics</a><br />
<br />
Go Digg it everyone.</div>


See the "nofollow" before the link? That makes it invisible to the spiders. Take it out.

The option to view previous posts has disappeared. Has the option been moved or revamped in the update? Where might I find this option now?

**sl500** · **155** - 02-14-2007, 00:49

please. thank you.

No, this is by design.

I don't want spiders following links to external pages and thus spending less time on TW. I alo don't want spiders following links to internal pages that are already linked elsewhere. This can cause pages - especially dynamic ones - to be seen as duplicate content which lowers page ranking. I also don't want spiders spending time on 'noise' content like the reply, quote and profile pages.
