Thanks Giz .. I understand now.
I've always found SE stuff difficult to understand, although I recently went right through the Google Webmaster tools, doing everything they recommended for ratings and exposure.
I am quite serious about not having individual posts appear in listings, although what I thought was preventing that looks as though it might be incorrect. I might do as you suggest, Giz, and use the robots.txt to prevent the reading of individual forums, but then activate that checkbox. Is that what you'd recommend?
