XF 2.2 questions on reply thread

[simoncmchan]

Hi,

we see many reply urls created in thread:

eg: /threads/xxxxxxxx/reply?quote=424

how to make it like /threads/xxxxxxxxxx/ only such as change to POST etc.

since googlebot keep coming although noindex.

Regards

eg: /threads/xxxxxxxx/reply?quote=424

those look like they came from your previous forum software and didn't migrate well.

Or are you talking about this issue ?

Fixed Thread 'reply link should be nofollowed'

Jun 15, 2021

G search console is throwing a lot of pages in the unindexed column that it shouldn't ever find.
example snippet:

<a href="/threads/title-here.1234/reply?quote=456" class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--reply" title="Reply, quoting this message" data-xf-click="quote" data-quote-href="/posts/456/quote">Reply</a>

to reproduce:
be a guest with a board set to 'post before register'. Links to reply in each post are followed and probably shouldn't be.

Suggest adding a nofollow to this link.

Fixed Thread 'Create Thread/Post Thread pageaction links should be nofollow'

Jun 28, 2021

As it is right now, those links do not have a rel="nofollow" which causes search engine spiders like Googlebot to follow those links.

This seems useless as there is no "content" on those pages - they only will show a form to post a thread (or select the target forum).

So basically the same issue as https://xenforo.com/community/threads/reply-link-should-be-nofollowed.195488/
