nofollow links are cool but are merely a bandaid on the gaping SEO wound of duplicate content for PhotoPost.

Spider-friendly URL's are okay but is like trying to put icing on a moldy cake. Make the underlying structure/architecture work well for SEO first then try to do things like spider-friendly URL's.

We're not criticizing you or other PhotoPost developers in terms of how the software package works because in my experience it's worked pretty well. But SEO-wise it's a joke.

I for one would be happy to see PhotoPost developers
  1. take a step back
  2. read what we're saying
  3. realize that PhotoPost isn't God's gift to vBulletin
  4. take note of the SEO problems
  5. admit to those problems
  6. fix those problems

This would make for a better PhotoPost product and happier customers in the future.
