Hi there
Just set up a forum group yesterday on here. Can you tell me why when I click Who's onling its says Guests (google) viewing the posts, messages etc. We need to be private. I have defo set it so we have to accept members in and I click off all the guest accsess. ? {Confused}

Google will track the site to add to their search listings, but their 'bots' will have exactly the same search abilities as a normal guest would - if you've set it to force members to login, then they won't be able to {Smile}

So even though it says they are viewing a post in my group they definately can't see it.
Sorry to be such a dunce. New to this {Embarassed}

Yep, that's right - whatever you can see as a guest is what they can see {Smile}
