As seen in previous post/graph, mine droped off dramatically also as soon as I installed 7.0 (in early January). I am wondering if the problem isn't the use use the re-direct in the index? With my old Threads 6.5 the main index page was the portal page of my site, with all of the links necessary to crawl the site. I notice that this site does not seem to have a redirect, but rather a "real" index page that in turns provides a real link to the forums/portal page. I think as a test, I might try eliminating the index re-direct script and just put a page similar to the index page here and see if that helps the Google crawl rate. Seems to be much better on this site. Thoughts?
