Does the seo tool works when I ......

Hello,

When I lock down my forum so only members can view them does the seo tool still do his job?

thanks.

Search engines cannot view members-only forums, therefore, you will receive no benefits for any content in these forums.

But when I open my forum again all pages which have been added will be indexed at once won't they?

Yes spiders = guest so allow anything you want guest to view and bots will start indexing

Yes - once you make them available, the search engine bots will start discovering all this hidden content.
