So that’s what Google sees. I’m pretty sure that it’s frowned on to have content listed that’s not available, though the paywall sites do that to some degree.

In order to determine what content is “new” or “unread”, the forum needs to know who you are, and thus requires a logged in user.

Adsense will work fine without access to these two pages.

AdSense works but I get no revenue from the ads that would appear on that page. What values should I specify for **Login URL** and **Login method**?
