    How to disable styleid=2 ?

    Hello, i see Google is indexing my site wrongly. It adds: ?styleid=2
    After each URL so visitors from google land to some raw page without my custom forum design.
    The ?styleid=1 is the one i want.

    How can i disable styleid 2 so when someone land it, he will be redirected to styleid 1 ?

    Or any way to add 301 redirect into htaccess so all these link_to_a_topic?styleid=2 gets redirected to link_to_a_topic?styleid=1 ?

    Actualy what is the reason Google is indexing style 2 isn't that strange?

    You can set the default style in the AdminCP under Settings -> Options -> Style & Language Options. Google will use the default style unless it is following a URL that includes the Styleid number in it.

    You can prevent users from switching styles in the AdminCP under Settings -> Options -> Style & Language Options. When this is set, the styleid=2 will be disregarded. However, an Administrator will always be able to change styles.
