I just recently added phpBB to my site, and applied the able2know mod_rewrite mod.

I want to make sure it's working properly....

I notice that when it's not logged in, it displays the static url's.

However, when users are logged in, it still uses the dynamic url's.

Is this correct? I'm worried about users pointing links to their topics w/ the dynamic URL and getting duplicate content penalties.

Also, I noticed that the robots.txt file banned some files in the forum/ directory, which does not exist.

I am using the latest version of phpBB (installed around 10/05). The able2know mod is 2.0.0

Thanks!

This is the default setup for this particular mod. If you want to avoid duplicate content problems, you need to enable URL rewriting for all users, logged-in or not, and you may need to 301 redirect any requests to the dynamic URLs to their static equivalents.

encyclo:

any idea how to simply enable rewriting for all users, logged-in or not?

I'm not really familiar with how this scripting worked.
