That's interesting. I have taken a snippet from one of my members post comments and put it in Google with quotes. Instead of bringing me to the actual post, Google takes me to the members profile page. No other links in Google, just to the members profile. I wonder why its doing that? Maybe it will come back and crawl and give me the link to the actual post. It was a relatively new post.

I thought the system was supposed to try and catch if its being browsed by a BOT and in those cases not add PHPSESSID to the URL (for all the above reasons).
I'll have a look and see if the detection can be improved, or if its fine, why PHPSESSID is being added when possibly_robot is true.

You're welcome to an admin account/access if you want to poke about. They don't bother me as indexing is happening as we can see.

I know. I did mention that in my opening post. It was the article I came across that raised my curiosity again about this subject. Guess I should have maybe posted in one of the original threads about sessionIDs. Just trying to get the "cleanest URL", not only for Google, but Bing, Yahoo, WebCrawler, AOL etc. Kind of like how WordPress does it.
