OK, then I will bow out on helping with this particular one.

@Batchman - this one will be part of 2.6.2 - plus all the testing is finding places where even more changes need to be made to the MainLine for better mod compatability.

Didn't install for me ... 21 of 30 steps failed. With that many, I am expecting it probably conflicts with another mod or something.

If you save the ANSI as UTF-8 wo BOM, then it doesn't add the marker (And I do try to save all the files as UTF-8 wo BOM.)

That's easy. I will try it. I just never stop must deal with it.

How can I change something yourself? I think because no useful program.
Fast way to convert from UTF-8 to ANSI is to open the file in Notepad and saving it using "Save as...". It doesn't work the other way around as it will insert byte-order mark at the beginning of the first line.

It's useful in that it give the admin some options for how to handle the viewprofile link that bots shouldn't can't follow.
New German zip in 1st post.

German Files not in ANSI.

fit for build 1611. No change necessary.

I think this issue also points out that the Advanced ErrorLog Security may need a white list setting to keep from accidentally blocking 'good' bots. (Amazing how seemingly unrelated issues are actually related. )

@Dandello
Thanks. I have a Google-Account an a robots.txt is not a Problem.

I'm doing some research - I think there needs to be an extra Meta Tag tag added to error pages to keep them from being indexed and (in theory), adding
Code
Disallow:/*action=viewprofile
to your robots.txt file should keep Google from trying to index Profile pages it can't reach as it goes through its internal list of possible pages. But it may take a while for Google to get the message that the links are gone.
But you should be able to tell Google to ignore links to member profiles using robot.txt - Google supposedly actually reads and obeys robots.txt
Also an idea. Why I do not get on.

This is why I wrote the mod - removing the links for guests is part of latter versions of 2.6.1, but it's always good to give admins options of how to tell guests what they're missing by not joining.
However, Google may take a while to figure out the links are gone. I still haven't figured out a good way to have certain errors throw proper 404 and 403 errors back to the spiders. That's what will tell Google it's trespassing. Edited:

Hopefully that works with Google. The constantly wants to access the profile and writes the error log so that within a short time fully.
