The quick_topic_search.asp page has a nofollow rule attached to links to it and should not be indexed by google as this is simply the drop down box for launching searches from.

The forum does not generate a site map as showing each and every topic in a site map would overload large forums, however I beleive their is a mod for this in the mod section.

You can also add RRS Feeds as site maps in Google so you could enter the RSS Feed for the forums.

I've noticed the same issue,

Bruce, if there's a nofollow on all links to that page Google doesn't seem to take heed of the nofollow  (I haven't checked it thoroughly as I'm short on free time lately and was easier to just dissalow it in robots.txt)

An easy workaround would be to add this line to your robots.txt file

Disallow: /forum/quick_topic_search.asp

I've used the sitemap mod, and it's great (although there were a few small errors in the output that required a small tweak to make it give accurate output - the main thing being that it was adding an extra forward slash "/" to each url - but that was really easy to fix, and I imagine this was due to versioning issues as it was written for an earlier version of WWF

Cheers,

Tony
