Tetra WebBBS Frequently Asked Questions

How do search engines see my forum?

Basically search engines will see your forum just like any other visitor.

However, Tetra-WebBBS autosenses for search engines indexing the forums and reconfigures itself on the fly. This is mainly to protect the server from unnecessary load. There are a couple of optional configuration variables which allow site owners to protect their user's privacy - e.g. by not displaying poster names or profiles to searchengines.

If you're curious to check out the search engines view, temporarily add the following line to section (1) of a public entry script:

$ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} = 'googlebot';
