Summary0022796: "Changelogs" section of the forum is not searchable via Google.
DescriptionPreviously reported here in 2021: https://returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=488672

The Changelogs section (forum 42) is here: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=42. None of the posts in that section are indexed by Google. Bing does not seem to have this problem. If I were to guess, I would say the permissions for the Google bot are currently messed up and it's been blocked from that section? Using "The Feast of Shoika" as an example as it has a very unique name, the thread we want to find is: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49179

Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areturnofreckoning.com+"The+Feast+of+Shoika" - doesn't find it

Bing: https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Areturnofreckoning.com+"The+Feast+of+Shoika" - second result for me

The Bing search also can find the patch note threads fine, while Google only finds the few posted outside of the Changelogs section (usually when posted in "News" by accident).

Considering how important it is to be able to find older information about changes, please can you look into fixing the issue for the Changelogs forum, along with any other public forum sections that might be blocking Google.

Thank you

Seemed bots did not have permission to view that forum. I have updated this so it should start working. I suppose if this still hasn't picked anything up in month reopen the issue.
