If you want to protect your page rank, you should add the Nofollow tag for all external links in your PHPBB forum; I will tell you how to do so.

It works with PHPBB3 version and prosilver theme.

1. Download Prime links.
2. Follow simple instructions locate at the bottom of “Installation Instruction” file.
This will add nofollow tag for all external links in posts.

To add nofollow tag to only links in signatures, please do the following:

2. Find this code:
<a href=”{URL}” class=”postlink”>{DESCRIPTION}</a>

and replace it with this code:
<a href=”{URL}” rel=”nofollow” class=”postlink”>{DESCRIPTION}</a>.

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to optimize the titles of PHPBB forums posts to be SEO friendly. I talk about optimizing it to be in the following structure:

Topic Title : Forum Name

This tutorial is for PHPBB3 forums and Prosilver theme.

1. Download PHPBB3 SEO Optimal Titles.
2. Unzip the file and follow all instructions located in the test file that begins from “Open: styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html”
3. After editing and saving processes completed, open “languages/en/common.php” file and find “Index Page” code then replace it with the forum name. Save it and upload it again.
4. Go to your control pane and choose “Styles” and refresh “Template”,”Themes” and “Imagesets”.
5. Check changes.

PHPBB3 forums come without this important option, I mean the” Quick Reply” option that will help your members to reply on posts easily. To add this great tool, you should follow the following steps:

1. Download Quick Reply Hack
2. Unzip the file.
3. Open “Root” folder and upload the files located in “Includes”, “Language” and “Styles” to the folders with same names in your sever hosting.
4. Follow the instruction from the installation file. The installation for “Prosilver” theme is different from “Subsilver” theme.
5. After editing processes completed, go to your forum control panel and choose “Styles” and at the left, refresh “Templates”, “Themes” and “Imagesets”.
