Hello,
I was trying to see how my site got indexed by the new msn bot (the one that is supposed to kill google) at their tech preview: http://techpreview.search.msn.com/ and noticed that lots of my vb3 pages were indexed with these ugly session hash.

Anyway to prevent this ? I thought vb3 was supposed not to show sessions to guest ?

Cordially,
Sharg

We only pick a few search engines to remove session hashes for as it requires processing time to check every pageview against a list of user agents. We do need to review the list from time to time.

Maybe not now, but sonner or later, this is one SE that will have to be added to the list, definitely.
