Excellent Thanx man ...

Please take attention that if you think all options from: Before Accepting Rules User Can Not... (mostly view forums and threads) then google boot is seeing for each thread the forum rules not the thread.

I dont know what is that but aparently I have change settings and marked view threads (or forums, I don't remember) too after a long time of using the product without problems and google stop indexing my pages as he was seeing only redirect screen to forum rules.

I have totaly crashed with google as it took me v long time to figure ( I used fetch as google boot from webmaster tools) that this was the cause.
I have now 370 links indexed out of 80.000! :(
I have unticked all boxes and all is working great. Checked with fetch as... also ...

I have no clue why is this happening but I am so bussy to find out, I am just happy to solve it. Wrote for reinclusion to google.
(I was also thinking it was the redirect hack widely spread lately, I could not confirm it as I have upgraded the forum first then I found about the hack).

PS. This is not intended to put the blame on coder (many thanks man for this wonderfull hack) but to avoid google problems. I might use it wrongly as I have remembered that forum rules where cookie based and was not showing for boots.

Cyb: Some time ago you mentioned that you wanted to add rule sets for Social Groups. I am much in need of this and would like to know if you have it planned for an upcoming release. If not then I will have this function coded by someone. I dont mind paying for the function.

That only applies if you don't have your Unregistered / Not Logged In usergroup ID in the Usergroups excluded from restrictions box.

I have one problem. During registration user accept a "General Rules", right? Especially, if you have an option "Registration Rules Options - Replace with General Forum Rules". Ok, but after registration user still have "Forum Rules NOT accepted" if profile and therefore must accept the General Rules once more. Is that a bug? How can I make accepting Registration Rules user accepted General Rules? Please please please answer asap ..
