That's for sure because you did not implement the robots.txt as advised in the release thread and the install file.

Now, the better to do would be to install the zero duplicate and to set the post redirection option at least to "guest".
A month or so after you started the redirecting, upload the robots.txt with the proper paths. Not right now, because we first want bots to be redirected to the topic urls before we ask them to drop all the postxx.html urls.

this mod is for gold version you have to update anyway.But if you want only RC7 you will find it in changelog in contrib i think

Update to gold first !

It may even be time to think about our premod.

This topic would help just in case Wink

You need both in pretty much all case. The zero duplicate is not embed into the mod rewrite because we want to make sure user properly install the mod rewrite before they proceed with the zero duplicate.
Would be a nightmare for support if user would install both and try the zero duplicate before the mod rewrite is up and running.

True, I know there is little content there yet, but... For the blog on the same subdomain I have just (minutes ago) added a post, then resubmitted a sitemap to Google, now googling for:

Well two things.

First, it's normal to see deeper content indexed a bit slower at first, then, the post you mention is now indexed.

http://www.google.fr/search?q=site%3Alinux.dsplabs.com.au%2Fforums%2F gives 18 index pages, which must already be pretty close to full crawl for your forum.

Additonally, you should implement the suggested robots.txt for the mod rewrite, because you do not disallow or redirect post urls, and these are duplicates of topic urls. and this could cause trouble for indexing and ranking once you'll have more topics.

Yes, deeper content can take a little longer to get crawled, but in your case, I believe that pretty much all your forum pages are already cached, so it's not really an issue.
