In the Changelog for 7.5.0, one of the new added features is this:

Quote
Added 2 new options to the Primary/Advanced section of the Control panel that will allow admins to turn on/off rel="nofollow" in posts and signatures.
Could someone explain to me what these two options are? and how they work?

THANKS!

To keep it short: It makes searchengines not look any further when there's someone who's got his own siteor another URL in a post or signature.

Well, WITH norel on, your sites pagerank in searchengines won't effect the linked to site; with it on, your site will effectively promote their site... So basically, do youw ant to encourage people to spam on your site to increase their sites popularity or not...
