What do you mean ?

There is a feature to deactivate links in posts body for rss feeds with post content, but I'm not sure you're talking about it. In case it is, take a look at the rss settings Wink

Well if Google crawls your forum so well, it's probably because you run GYM sitemaps Wink

The module really helps out Google to find out new and newly updated topics faster, that's the main point about it.

Besides, by making crawling more efficient, it's in the end helping out Google to better spend his and yours resources. Less urls crawled for nothing, where content would not have been updated and the page is already cached.

So I don't think you'd save much resources by limiting the age of topics listed.

You can play with ordering a bit in ACP, to output the list from the oldest to the newest thread, to have Google find out about your old urls, but this would only be useful if you'd have at least a forum within your forum having more topics than the url limit set in sitemaps.

For example, if you set the url limit to 5000, this mean the 5000 last active topics will be listed, and this for each forum, not all of them at a time. So, if you do not have a forum with more than 5000 topics, all of them will always be listed.

To save resources, you'd better increase the caching time, up to 24 or even a week could make a difference in comparison to every our for example, but not this much as far a Google crawling I think.

The robots.txt crawl delay command could be more efficient to help out here.

They just end up at the end of the list, but are listed if the number of topic from the forum they are posted in is less than the url limit parameter in GYM sitemaps settings.

By default, url are sorted by last activity, meaning creation or reply date.

Do you have many old but important topic not cached in Google ?

Pagination: Upper Limit 5

does it good

A topic does not need a reply to be listed in GYM sitemaps, what happen is topics are listed sorted by last activity, where activity means creation date (when the topic is first posted) or last replay date in case there is one.

With your pagination settings, you'll list up to the 5 first and 5 last pages of each topic, if applicable.

You can increase it a bit, 10 and 10 for example.
