Ah - I don't know anything about phpsuexec but if it doesn't handle .htaccess directives then I'm not sure how the script works at all because allthough it doesn't require "force type" it
does require the:
Code:
ErrorDocument 404 /forum/archive/index.php
(alter according to forum directory) line. If however you can hit your archive link and follow the links through in your browser then it must be working.
The ways that Google works are weird and wonderful and I don't think anyone who doesn't work there really understands them. One thing you'll need to do of course in case you haven't already is have a link to your archive directory somewhere in your forum (I hacked the footer so it appears on every page next to the "Contact Us" link). Otherwise, Google will have nothing to start with.
