Nope.  It's not showing up in the sitemap.  Only the main /forum page shows up but none of the posts or topics.  When I do a blog post, it usually shows up on Google in a few minutes.

so with no sitemap, not much need to check google...  need to figure out why that is not working...

what version of the Arne Brachhold Google XML sitemap plugin are you using?  and may need to put it into debug mode to see why something is failing when we try to add to it...  like maybe running out of memory...  there is a way to increase it on the settings page...

Arrrrgh.  I sent you a private message with my log in info.  Can't you just log in and see what's going on?  For you, it's probably easier to do that than go through this endless dialogue on the forum.  I have the feeling I'm just missing one setting or something. Like I said, when I do a Wordpress blog post, it appears in Google search in minutes so I don't think crawling is the issue.  And my forum posts don't appear in the XML sitemap so I think the problem is somewhere between the forum and the Google XML plug in.

Steve, I don't know if you did something in my settings or not but it looks like the posts are showing up in Google search now.  Thanks!!!
