[resolved] Links Produce 404 error.....But only for 'bots (4 posts)

    Both the validator.w3.org and google 'bots report 404 errors, but when I manually click (or cut/paste) the links work fine. I also haven't had any complaints from humans.

    Just not sure where to go next and don't even know what is relevant to get help.

    There are many more, but these are typical. Thanks!

    I'm using BadBehavior 2.0.7, but in all the docs I've read about this, it should turn bots away at the top (and does very nicely, too), not shut them down during their crawl.

    Further research has eliminated BadBehavior as possible problem. When BB block bots, they get a 403 error.
