    Description of problem

    Hi guys,

    I have just done a google search on my forum name and number 2 in the list on google is my site's member list.

    How can I prevent this from displaying my whole memberlist?

    Thanks

    The only way is by only allowing members to see the memberlist.  Search engines index everything that guests can see.
