I still see the rel="nofollow" in "Website" and "About me" sections.

Yep, it's fixed in the forums.
1. New posts in the forum get "nofollow" even if you use the "123" trick.
2. Profiles that used the "123" trick previously still have no "nofollow".
The question is whether profiles that use the "123" trick now will get "nofollow" or not (I'm not going to test it, sorry...).

| Pagerank is per *page*, not per *site* | Jan 30, 2010 |
I just wanted to respond to a comment somebody mentioned that the PR of "proz.com" is 6. There's really no such notion-- each individual web page has its own Pagerank, and what counts (inasmuch as Pagerank counts-- it's not the be-all and end-all, as has also been mentioned here) is the Pagerank of the *page* that links to your *page*.

In general, forum postings won't have very high Pageranks (many have 0). The fact that, say, the Proz home page has a Pagerank of 6 (or whatever) essentially has no bearing on the link from a forum posting/your profile unless you're lucky enough to also have a direct link from the Proz home page to your profile/posting. ▲ Collapse

Well, the only concrete information we have about PageRank is the patent filed by Larry Page, and that thing is several years old and would probably have been developed further by now. So I can't confirm that PageRank is not site sensitive.
However, my original post was not so much about PageRank as it was about the general principle of relevance transfer that occurs when a popular subject-specific site links to another site that is also about that subject or topic. The fact was that people were able to bypass the nofollow property previously, and they can no longer do that.

Yeeeees, this is sort of true, in the same way we can't absolutely *confirm* that it's not sensitive to the colour of Larry Page's underpants.
But, by all available description (see http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html) and observation of what in practice seems to happen to page rank, I think it's fair to say that the consensus among developers is that it's essentially by page.
