Googlebot getting 404s

[Techie]

Why can't Googlebot access thread pages? When I use those services to browse using Googlebot's user agent thread pages give 404 errors 🙁

Topics get indexed perfectly fine so the real Google bot can clearly access them.

Edit: It does also happen on the phpBB.com forum too.

Try a link to a topic on phpBB.com like
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2120787

And it gives a 404 too.

Ok.

I was trying to see if Googlebot sees signatures because not even one link from here is showing in Google Webmaster Tools. But Google does index the topic pages (even though we can't see cached versions from Google)

You could edit your user agent to that of Google's.
