I have since added some pages like
http://www.asia-expatsforum.com/phpBB2/ ... -links.php

are these new pages being spidered ? because I got a message from one of those auto link checkers that vietnam-links.php was blocked by robots .text

Well, this robots.txt in not blocking -http://www.asia-expatsforum.com/phpBB2/vietnam-links.php, and the URL is listed in Google's cache.

It must be the checker you're using to mistake
