with FIREFOX: download this extension: http://chrispederick.myacen.com/work/firef...tcher/download/

restart firefox in toolbar under TOOLS you now see USER AGENT SWITCHER, go to OPTIONS and click on OPTIONS on GENERAL you chooose 4 numbers of USER AGENTS

now go to USER AGENTS under GENERAL and at the last user agents you see a blank field in the blank field type this:

Description: Googlebot/2.1
User Agent: Googlebot/2.1

click OK and now select the googlebot user agent under TOOLS/USER AGENT SWITCHER in the firefox toolbar

try this spiderman 2 article on IGN http://insider.ign.com/articles/528/528825p1.html
with the googlebot user agent selected you can see the whole article

try it, it works

That's scary, yet cool at the same time! Thanks SoCo and now we have yet another reason for people to use Firefox instead of IE!!!

P.S. Don't forget to switch back when you're done because, for a moment there, my posting rights were removed.

BTW..if you try to log into a forum..disable it, or set it to default, or you may have problems. I just tried with one of my forums, and it didn't work.

Edit nevermind I just checked.

So I am assuming that when you setup the permissions for the googlebot in IPB or whatever you use, than the "fix" mentioned in this article will allow only the sections the bot is allowed? I know it sounds dumb, but sometimes I have seen the GoogleBot in places it doesn't have rights too.

also, gmail says that your browser does not meet requirements when on as googlebot, but without googlebot on it is fine....

strange...
