    Weird entry in Google webmaster tools.

    I'm concerned about the first entry in Google webmaster tools where they list areas of my site blocked by robots.txt.

    It's listing my domain.

    Have I somehow blocked my whole site?

    I'm concerned as my indexed pages is going down by around 200 daily, I'm now only 70% indexed.

    P.S. Thanks for all the recent help here too, your guys are great!

    FYI You have many entries in there spelled:
    Dissalow:
    The first line you show is messed up, but it's blocked by robots because you're blocking index.php

    Fixed the problem entries, thank you.

    Although Google still accepts them.

    I know index.php is blooked, it's meant to be.

    What concerns me is its saying my root www. thecomputerforums. co. uk is blocked.

    That's not your root. It's a messed up URL, that ends in filename index.php.

    You should open a support ticket to have the team check that URL to see if it is a vBSEO problem:
