My forum is using the the latest version of mybb with Google seo installed as well.
Over the the Google Webmasters page I found out that Google is indexing many links that point to the same thread. One thread have this URL all pointing to it -
thread-689.html
thread-689-post-6990.html
thread-689-post-6994.html
Etc.
This is above Google seo practices.
Is there any way to only index
index only /thread-689.html?
Please why is this post moved there?
Does this sounds like a plugin support or is this to hide this thread?
can you confirm that you are using
Google SEO plugin ?
in general,
Google SEO plugin links do not appear like "
thread-689-post-6990.html"
looks like you are using
MyBB internal SEF URLs
whether it is good practice or bad practice,
community.mybb.com/
thread-212718.html links to
this thread &
community.mybb.com/
thread-212718-post-1283023.html#pid1283023 links to the specific post
(#2 above)
And
Google Search Engine might be
omitting #pid1283023 part.

I am using Google SEO Plugin but I prefer the MyBB internal SEF URLs for threads and forums because of how search engine list the similar threads together.
I think it's a bad seo practice because Google hates the pointing of many links to a certain page.I wonder why MyBB is not using rel no index tag in all individual posts. I relation to the above I also have many
/post-1234.html indexed by Google according to Google Webmasters report.
