I think you are missing the point - why has Google suddenly reduced it's activity since 7.x was installed.

I did not have a sitemap installed under 6.x and was using SE friendly URL's.

Nothing has changed apart from threads software.

Either Google has changed their policy or something has altered on most if not all threads sites.

If Google has changed their policy and we need to adapt fine - but I do not think this is the case.

I was averaging 80,000 pages a day, with a max of 175,055 - I am now on around 4,000 a day!

But if you feel this is nothing to worry about then great I am happy - it just seems strange smile

But at least my redirects are partially working smile
