I'm having a hard time following the conversation.

Also, you will have to ask the search engines to remove content from their index if it's already in there. Each search engine has a form, and with Google Webmaster tools, it's right in the admin screen. It happens in a couple days in my experience.

Actually, I write a robots.txt rule in the root of http://www.dreamfreeblog.com like:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /bbs/?bb_attachment=*

but unexpectly, it didn't work, the attachment link still be indexed. Do I need to write the rule in /bbs root?

and secondly, as the link like:
http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ topic/18?bb_attachments=30&bbat=19
I don't know how to write the robots.txt rule.... :(

$bb_attachments['role']['download']="participate"; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate

If you're signed in, can you download the attachment? If so, the default for downloading content was probably left to "participate"... which requires downloaders to be registered. That's why that "Sorry, download is restricted" message is appearing.

If that's the case, you will want to take set the download role to read, not participate. Good luck!

http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ topic/18?bb_attachments=30&bbat=19
or
http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ ?bb_attachments=24&bbat=13

as Google indexed page, actually as "Sorry, download is restricted."

Is there a method to avoid such permalinks except that to write a robots.txt rule for Google? Many thanks in advance! :)
