Hi. Please tell me whether search engines to index all of the answers within the same theme or just the first post? I have indexed only the first message. It is not correct?

Hey Dobrodukh,

Have you had a look through all the options in Forum > Components > SEO?

Yes, but I think there is no answer to this question. Or am I wrong?

Well as far as I am aware, you have the option between using topic title on topic pages, or a 120 character excerpt from the first post. So I believe this is the answer you are looking for, and the only option.

depends... assuming a search engine is actually indexing your forum (are you using a sitemap?), then they will index each page...  so a topic is made up of posts...  each post is not indexed (they are not distinct urls), but each topic page is indexed... so the index will be of the topic page with how many ever posts you have on that topic page...
