    Google not following links

    Hi guys...
    I've just noticed that Google is not following the links on my forums pages!

    For example, the home page, TalkHttp - Powered by vBulletin has been crawled by Google, however, when I go to Useful scripts - TalkHttp , the page has not been indexed by Google.
    Type "cache:http://www.talkhttp.net/useful-scripts/" into the Google search box so you can see what I mean.

    It's has not been indexed, even though the last crawl of the home page was on the 12th of Nov.
    You can verify this by typing "cache:http://www.talkhttp.net" into the Google search box.

    The link on the home page pointing to Useful scripts - TalkHttp has been there for a few months now, so it should have been indexed by Google.
    I'm not sure why this is happening, and I haven't a clue where to start looking.
    I searched through the forum topics here but couldn't find any anything that looked helpful.
    Please help. :-(
    Cheers
    Damian

    The site has already been indexed.
    If you type the following line into the Google search box....
    Code:
    cache:http://www.talkhttp.net
    ...you'll see that the site Google crawled the site on 12 Nov 2006 12:36:43 GMT.

    However, the only thing Google has indexed is the home page. The Google bot didn't follow any links on the home page, which is really worrying.

    All done.
    I'll look into Google sitemap and webmaster tools as well to see if they shed any light on exactly why the Google bot isn't following any links from the home page.
