I got tons of these but very few of my relevant content pages - is there any way to steer it?

Are you running an phpBB board?

LOL

they have been at my tiny little IPB board for four days

sometimes as many as 23 at once.

we have 15 members with 90 posts.

Now some of our post are in yahoo search.

Do you have a link back to your home page on all your message board pages? It would help if you did.

[TCH-Don]

On mine, the forum is displayed in a frame,

but the logo is a link back to the home page.

 

I still wonder why it would take so long,

four days now, for only 90 posts?

currently 14 are there.

 

I am not worried, just wondering.

I've added a html link in my signature, we'll see what that produces.

 

Anyone know how to make my logo on top a link? Please advise. Thanks!

Modify IPB logo

 

first change permissions for

/Skin/s1/skin_global.php

CHMOD to 0777 via FTP. IBF cannot do this for you.

 

goto skins and templates

manage html templates

manage html

global html elements

select Board Header (logo, links, etc) > edit

about 14 lines down you will find the place to modify.

look for

img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.jpg'

 

this is what I have

 

><td align='left'><a href='/home/' target="_top" title='Back To The Pets Corner'>
<img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.jpg'  border='0'></a>
</td>

 

the

<a href='/home/'

points to a folder 'home'

but you can just use '/'

to point to your site

 

then CHMOD

/Skin/s1/skin_global.php

back to 644

global html elements <<I don't have this choice, now what?

[musicfrisk]

while I still don't link back to the home page, I e-mailed Inktomi and the bot stopped going nuts on that page a few hours ago and is now indexing the front of the site.

 

I'd still love to fix thsi issue so it links back - but we'll see if the next release of IPB solves it when it upgrades.

 

Thanks for the thoughts people!
