ManyThanks
Did you recently switch over to a custom domain? If so, that could cause a delay.
Also, i noticed your forum doesn't have a title (i'm guessing you hid it so it doesn't display on the header?) That could also cause delays in google crawling your forum.
didnt mean to how do i rectify that and that search feature would have come in handy?
If you go into forum admin > settings > set up you can put the name and description back in.
To stop them displaying in your header you make sure you have the following lines added to your css.
#forum_title {display:none;}
#forum_description {display:none;}
Ok i got 10 out of 600 in search facility will the rest of them add overnight?
Hope so
they take from 1-4 weeks to be indexed by google for the first time, if you recently changed your domain name, it could reset that time period. After that, they are indexed continuously on public forums.
Please not (if this applies to anybody) switching a forum between public and private, back and forth, will confuse google and your forum may not get indexed.
