I have vBulletin 3.0.3 and vbadvanced Homepage 1.1. It seems that google is indexing everything on my home page (vbadvanced page), but not indexing anything on the forum folder (vbulletin).
Has anyone ever run into this problem?

Yes. I haven't seen a single Google link to a forum post and I've been running since June. I see Google index posts I've made here ABOUT my forum, but no posts at all made on my forum. I'd love to know why as well. I've got many pages that are not VB related with meta tags, those get indexed, but the VB Forum which also has meta tags does not.

I have my forums set up like that intentionally by using the robots.txt file. The only thing I want indexed is my front page.
Do you have a robots file?

Yep, none of mine show up. Only my vba CAMPS front page does
tons of other threads from other 3.0.3 forums do
