Ahh Ok I'll try 1.8.1 and see what happens...

My forum is not "operational" right nowotherwise I'd check for youbut the subject lines seem to show up as the thread title the way I would expect them to... and posts with the same title group together under the same thread in the forum as long as nobody changes the subject...

For example there was a thread on my site...

"Isn't art in decline when blah blah" and there were several posts in that thread but somebody adjusted the subject-line (via in the original mailing list) to "Art is in decline when blah blah" — not really a big deal to start a new thread in most cases like that...

What is a little strange is that all the posts are "anonymous" and if someone is to be contacted they really need to sign their contact info at the bottom of the message--but most likey if it's a mailing list they don't know they are being mirrored by me in the first place so the extra privacy they get as anonymous is maybe a "feature" than a "bug".

For me it seems to be a nice resource to have on my site--and its a good way to get a little extra traffic by mirroring... I know some forum softwares have an option where you can output non-scripted versions of the forum for the SE robots to index more easily... I'm wondering if this is a major disadvantage to Tiki users because it's primarily based on PHP and I don't know if Google indexes content on PHP scripted pages...

There are no comments at this time.
