Hi to all,

Hi ken,

I can't figure how google take those links and finally I resolved the problem by using the robot.txt and the "disallow" keyword, (something like this: Disallow:*/scope/threads/www.fantasylario.it/Forum/tabid/131/forumid/7/scope/threads/Default.aspx).
Now, (after some weeks) seems that google has understand.

For the second problem that you have reported I don't have a solution, but I'm enough sure that is not related with the first one.

Let me know if you will find a more efficient solution.
