A member of my forum asked me if the content on our private member group board would be picked up by a Google search and if the search link would allow the searcher to access the private board... Is it possible for a Google search to bypass software?

Thanks,
Roger

It should not do.

Simple proof you can do yourself; log out, then try and access the posts and board as a guest. If you can't access them as a guest, neither can Google.

Thanks Arantor, I will relay the message to the paranoid member...  :D

Thanks again,
Roger
