Perhaps I jumped the gun in the previous post.  The google bot appears to at least stopped hitting that URL on that site.  I can still see the bot connecting to the system but have not had the error for over 3 hours now.  Now I'm not sure what stopped the bot but given that previous post says it was still running even after 10 days I have to believe it was one of the two things I did; disconnecting it as it came in (basically closing the socket each time it was opened) or stopping the site for a period of time.  The 2nd is probably easier for most to try if they can afford the site be offline for 5 minutes or so.

Hang on a second!

if you go here:

http://topmachine.cmwa.eu/dnn/Forums/tabid/53/forumid/5/scope/threads/topmachine.cmwa.eu/dnn/Forums/tabid/53/forumid/3/scope/threads/topmachine.cmwa.eu/dnn/Forums/tabid/53/forumid/3/scope/threads/Default.aspx
(one of the pages thta had issues)

and look at the source there are a lots of dodgy looking links in the html source.

Like this:

<menuitem id="1.6" title="&amp;nbsp;Le coin des TopMachineurs" url="http:\/\/topmachine.cmwa.eu\/dnn\/Forums\/tabid\/53\/forumid\/6\/scope\/threads\/Default.aspx" image="s_forum.gif" imagepath="http://topmachine.cmwa.eu/DNN/DesktopModules/Forum/Themes/DNNSilver/Images/" />

p.s. Exactly the same problem with my site.... looks like the forums links aren't being generated properly.

Alex, this looks like it might be an issue w/ the Solpart menu usage by the module. I never see the problem because I never use it. As for the next version, the Solpart menu navigation is not an option in the module so the problem will 'go away'.
