Ive been up and running with 2 beta 4 now for about 1 month. I was checking my listings in google the other day and noted something I think I dont like very much.

Before my upgrade I had between 1000 and 2000 forum pages indexed with google and google came almost daily and crawled all the most recent topics on the forum.

Sadly it appears google has now started to index the wap2 versions of pages before the normal ones. Most of the 1000 pages have been ditched and replaced with wap 2 pages.

How can I stop this from happeneing ?? Can I turn off wap 2 or is there a command you guys could help me with to go in my robots.txt

Try adding this to robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: *wap*
User-agent: *
Disallow: *wap2*


There are also some other things that it can be helpful to disallow (such as printpages). Do a forum search for robots.txt for a more complete list :)

I think I got most of the other things but your coding for wap 2 will be useful. Thankyou for your help
