How can I disable 'Nofollow' for links?

I've done some searches around the forum and I haven't found anything useful. I need to post several links in my forum and these specific links are coming up, target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> I need these specific links to work on my forum. How can I either, disable this function or, find a workaround for this?

The two things I've found on the forum I'll quote here and respond.

Hi,

If it's disabled in the Robots file, which you cannot modify, you cannot unfortunately modify it.
It's located at: yourforum.com/robots.tx

ok, if I can't modify it in that location what/where do I need to do to fix this?

Wait why do you want the nofollow gone? Its a good thing. 

Without it, search engine crawlers will potentially see them as spam posts and it will affect your SEO.


Well, for me this is not a good thing. For my forum I care absolutely nothing about SEO and everything about having this option available.





Thank you for your time and helping me with this problem.

Where are you posting these links?

In a topic in one of the forums.

How are you entering the links in your posts?

I've done both, enter the links without using the 'insert a link' tool and with using the 'insert a link' tool and i get the same outcome.

So when you just enter this:  https://help.forumotion.com/ , you get the nofollow?  Are you in WYSIWYG mode?

a regular address, like the example you have, works fine but, I have these links that include a - in them. These links are getting the nofollow tag.

What is WYSIWYG mode? It looks familiar but don't know it off the top of my head.

Please post one of the links in the code tags here.

ok, so it wont let me host external links yet so i took a screen shot of what the preview looks like if i was allowed to post it.
