Wordpress to Elkarte, Google still hasn't indexed

I used Wordpress for few days then i turned my site to a forum using Elkarte. But still Google hasn't indexed any links. Old Wordpress links is still active in the index. Any .htaccess changes need to be done?

Google is indexing new links, but it indexes with PHPSESSID Is it fine. I recently removed SimpleSEF addon and using basic url conversion in elkarte.

You can always try adding to your robots.txt file Disallow: /index.php?PHPSESSID and probably Disallow: /index.php?wwwRedirect If they bother you that much ... Goggle will eventually clean them up if it even matters ... Concentrate where your site shows up when searching on items that you think your site should have high relevance about and see who's on top. That's your competition, and its based on content, web exposure, time alive, etc not PHPSESSID. IMO

Yeah, I'm just trying to get a short clean URL. I noticed them appearing on one of my older Elk forums again. Is this normal? I thought I might take Spuds advise and at least keep the bots from seeing them.
