Heads up

You may or may not notice a few changes over the next couple of hours.
Im just going to change the theme on the board to see if it changes the search function any...
Rather than take the forums off line i will just let you see the changes as they happen.

from what I see in google it still not indexing page info as robot.txt set to block it.
It did work well when first added google search bar to the site page as was indexing via google at time but then it was changed & newer threads were not indexed so can not be linked to in a search.

Theres nothing else we can do
Our hands are tied because forumotion won't let us access the settings..

I've never seen a forum that blocks google indexing !
it completely retarded :-S
originally they didn't restrict google indexing.
I would contact their support & complain about issue of google indexing being restricted & that you need them adjust it as you not got access.

As is it sucks big time & completely out the norm practice for the usage .

I will see what they say MrB.

I have made a thread on the help forum. Im not quite sure what im asking but i have asked for help lol
Hopefully someone can assist us.

Hopefully the search functions will be working now
Could someone please check this and report back.

ive added something to the backend of the site to repair the indexing issue, let me know if this sorts the issue

It seems to be working better now when you search for thread titles however it doesn't seem to work for finding key words within a thread?

+1 with mr woody's report .
google reads titles & indexes them but not the body .

Worked ok for me ?????,

Porn

I tested more & does seem be picking up the keyword in body now but certainly not all posts, may just need more time for indexing .

I used 'cv boot' for test search & many posts not included.
Direct search from google does get our forum in first page of results & has post text rather than indexing error now which good .
well done

porn was probably better than cv boot lol

missing results though as had few threads on welding & fabrication porn

I think it just needs google to catch up abit afterall there is several hundred threads that technicly been locked away from search engines .... il keep updating and resubmitting the site to the search engines wich should help ....

Porn is everybodys first search isnt it

Certainly working better now anyway, good work guys

yep I'll keep an eye on the porn search results

Tag the forum with porn, we might get more members
