    Hi There,

    I've got a phpBB2 forum on my website (http://www.timesheetsmts.com/phpBB2/index.php) that I have applied the SEO mod to. This seems to be working OK as when I browse the forums as either a registered user or a guest there are no SID's in the URL.

    I applied this mod 14 days ago and Google seems to have indexed the index page, but no deeper. Is it too soon to expect Google to have indexed the forum pages yet? Or have I done something wrong. MSNbot has certainly been thru it.

    I would appreciate some expert eyes taking a look at the forum and seeing if there is anything immediately wrong with it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Probably just need to give it more time if it's a new site.

    Have a look at the forums for phpbb.com or phpbbhacks.com and search for "google+seo"

    Thanks Shawn, you really are master of the universe (I'm just skeletor). That's a big thing the supposedly uber SEO mod for phpBB2 left out! I've got it all sorted now, no SID's showing for any hyperlinks anymore. So I'll hold my breath and wait for a crawl.

    For anyone interested this phpBB2 mod can be found here http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15132

    Apparently I was using an old version. That didn't work. :eek:
