How come Googlebot (or any bot) is never online on my 2.1/2.2/3.0 board (last visit: never)? A search on Google returns over 300 results, so my forums have definatly been indexed.
Not asking for support here, I just want to hear some opinions before adding it to the bug tracker (and couldn't find any posts about this).

This could be a bug and I'd report it if I where you. It would be handy to know when the Bot's last visited.spambot wrote: A search on Google returns over 300 results, so my forums have definatly been indexed.Not asking for support here, I just want to hear some opinions before adding it to the bug tracker (and couldn't find any posts about this).
Re: Googlebot never online
I guess it's working here on Area51, since I see Googlebot in "who is online" all the time (which means it visits this site at least once an hour). I've updated to the latest CVS just yesterday. I left the default settings for Googlebot as they where.

Re: Googlebot never online
Well if Google is indexing your site then Googlebot must be there but it seems like phpBB3 (or whatever its called) isn't detecting it...
