Ok, I run a nice sized bulletin board over at UGN, before the upgrade to 6.7 we were using a spider addon (one of the first main ones). Before upgrading we had about 6000+ results in google from the url:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UT...G=Google+Search

However I just checked it and I'm down to a little over 2000... Basically what I'm saying is that the spider capability for UBB.Classic doesn't work.

My URL's are showing as:

Where on UBBCentral, UBBDev their showing as:
http://www.undergroundnews.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/26/60.html#000011

Now I've confirmed this at AlForAdmin's forums with:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&i...G=Google+Search

I've verified that his board has had spiders on it through WOL.

I have the following spider settings set in my CP:
URL Type: Short spider-friendly URLs
Use fake ".html" extensions for spider-friendly URLs?: on
Use Spider-friendly URL Compatabiltiy Mode?: on

And yes I know that modified bulletin boards aren't covered under warrenty, however my unmodified bulletin board at:
http://www.promodtecnologies.com/ is also experiancing the same issue.
