That was because they followed the link to forum 85, which in your case is only one category (not a forum). This is standard behaviour for vBulletin, clicking a category name gives tou a page with forums under that category.

Might be their problem --- I dunno -- its worth finding out dont ya think?

I don't know. I've never heard of them before, and don't know how they crawl forums.

You might want to send them a link to this thread, or a link to vBAdvanced, so they can adapt their crawler to recognize forums using portal pages for their homepage, and how categories behave.
