Ever since the "RedUser heart attack" -- when the site had to be shut down -- topic search results on Google that point at RedUser point to the wrong items. I guess we just need to use the internal search function on the RedUser site. But it is confusing.

Not just Google but also REDUSER threads anywhere they link to other REDUSER threads. Please see my post #3 in this thread: http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31199

Google will spider the site again and figure it out, it's people linking from blogs which is the biggest problem, in my opinion. People linking within Reduser is also bad.

Good point. Google will eventually fix itself, but this interlinking problem won't be fixed without intervention.

Yeah. It's going to suck if all those useful threads we had are no longer easily accessible, but the crash seemed pretty serious. :-(

Is it possible to speed that up I wonder - maybe let Google know directly that this site is no longer accurate on their searches.

Yeah i was wondering why the big "Brooke's FAQ" banner on this site was pointing to the wrong thread.

If you click on the "Cached" option it will take you to Pre-Reduser Heart attack-
if you want to see if there any new posts since then, just look at the thread name and then go back to post-Reduser Heart attack.
Bit of a long go around, but it has helped me.
