aia Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Hello. Like many forums administrators i use option "Add rel="nofollow" to posted links" in order to forum has become an unattractive target for spammers. But this function works with trusted links too (mirrors or friendly projects). I ask you to make an additional option: white-list field, where we can specify links that will not be exposed to this option. Sorry for my english.
87Lakers Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I've wanted this functionality since the functionality was first made available.
aia Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 Yes, I want this for a long time too. Just did not have time to write :)
Tanya Hancock Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 SEO is becoming extremely competitive and important and forums including IPB are playing catch up. A flexible dofollow/nofollow setting would put IPB ahead of every other forum software out there, paid and not paid. trust me I have checked them all for a similar function. The ability to control dofollow/nofollow per: Usergroup forum signatures That would simply be amazing and unique.
beberobu Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hello, Tanya, where and how can controll dofollow / nofollow on one particulary forum ? Or the setting apply to all forums ?
Feld0 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 +1. The ability to whitelist specific domains for dofollowing would be excellent for me, as I'm building a larger network of websites for my members, and expect an awful lot of links to the rest of the network to pop onto the forums in due time.
Jυra Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 In my opinion the nofollow attribute is pretty useless these days for forums. You either make it so you don't get spam or you don't. I would not miss it if it was removed.

The ability to control dofollow/nofollow per: Usergroup forum signatures That would simply be amazing and unique. It would be also great if it would be able to configure these options per application (e.g. IP.Blog). This would be nice to have for IP.Board 4.0. Xenforo is offering this feature since a while.
aia Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Xenforo is offering this feature since a while. Did not know about this, thanks. Hope this useful feature will be available in IPB 4.0.
joelle Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Forum owners who do care about 'dofollow' links please vote here for this feature. Read this if you want to know why dofollow links are important for your forum.
Travis Jeffries Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I just ran into this issue and found the thread posted here. At first I thought I'd be able to fix it with some quick database manipulation, but the anchor doesn't actually have nofollow saved in the posts table. Instead, it's added when put into the cache table, which means I'd have to update it every time the cache is rebuilt. Totally doable, but man... that's not a very neat option.
aia Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 Wow, within a week this suggestion will celebrate 4 years of lack of implementation and official response. And it's still a very important thing for SEO.
Apfelstrudel Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Yes, this feature would be great and it should also be the whitelist for the new rel="noreferrer".
