I'm finding SIDs in Index.php

I've been running into links on Yahoo search pages, for example, that are showing my forums index.php with SIDs on it. I will even recognize some of the content that was cached from not to long ago.. that is how I know it is not an old link. Is this normal to still show SIDs in index.php? or does it mean something could be wrong in my functions.php? ( cyberalien MOD )

If they only concern the index.php, then they must have been spidered before you implemented the guest session mod to get rid of SIDs.

Make sure you have :

Okay I will add that. should I do the same for my portal? because in old indexed pages of my site I see
?start=10?sid=c-ect- where does that "start" come from? I know lmsg_start comes form the 'x' next topics from the recently posted. but "start=" Question

This is the last message pagination (the yellow arrows up and down), when the portal is accessed though www.example.com/ and not www.example.com/index.php.

Otherwise the link would have mention index.php.

You can thus add :

The only reason that I think search engines are finding SIDs, is because of on a search engine page I will see text content that I recognize being made recently. then below it there is a URL with SID's on it. could it be that the preview content has nothing to to with the Link? because you've mentioned that, for example, Google holds cached pages from 'x' past months.

Actually I think it is, Google updated links spidered once with SIDs, the disallow in robots.txt should fix this sometime Wink
