      In my webmaster tools account it says that I have almost 8000 crawl errors. Most of which are http 403 errors

      The urls are

      http://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php?app=members§ion=friends&module=profile&do=remove&member_id=224

      http://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=166

      And similar urls. I recently blocked crawl access to my members folder to remove duplicate errors but not sure how i can block access to these kinds of urls since its not really a folder thing.

      Any idea on how to?

        In Webmaster Tools, go to URL Parameters under Site Settings.  You will probably see some of the parameters you want to block in the list.  Click on Edit next to a parameter you want to block like "?app=members" and then choose the appropriate settings to prevent Googlebot crawling.

        I don't know if that is the preferred way of doing it, but that should block those dynamic pages.
