Member profiles now excluded from search engines

Options

We have updated the settings in our community so that search engines like Google will no longer index member profile pages.  Although these extra search pages help new users to find our community, we do understand that allowing this information to be indexed is not acceptable to our community.

Please do understand that users performing a search in our community are still able to see the public information in your member profile so any determined user would still have access to this information.  It will, however, not be accessible directly through search engines like Google.

NOTE: it may take Google and other search engines hours, days or even weeks to fully update their search indexes and during this time the public information in your member profiles may still be accessible through Google.
