What are the Link Rel tags in the header of each PHPBB page?

What do they do? Would it be adverse SEO wise if i removed them from my forum?

Example tags from my forum

Actually, they help bots.

These as the mozilla navigation menu items. It's w3c so it cannot really be taken as spam indexing by search engines.

Try mozilla, you'll see extra navigation menu appear in the browser.

And the this is bots follow them. If you installed a mod rewrite on your forum, make sure the nav links are ok in viewtopic.php, because there, you send all your forum URLs at once Wink

Thanks.

I don't see any extra nav menu and i only use Firefox Wink

I've removed them for the time being, as i'm trying to thin the code down a little. Unfortunately the template we are using is very code heavy. Sad
