Is Google complaining about nodebb or something else?
-
@baris did a deep dive on this one over the last two days and figured out why we were seeing
?lang=en-GBin the search console.I don't know right now what effect that will have on SEO, but given that the query string parameter was superfluous, I don't expect to see any harm in it.

What I see is Google finding a ton of things that it complains about.
Like you pointed out, some of those were in fact left over from our previous forum software/links but I'll keep an eye open as this progresses to see which might be directly related to NodeBB in case it can help. -
Here is one such URL in the non indexed list that Google provides.
When I go to this link, I see the thread that was posted so I know it exists but Google says it cannot index it.https://doh.com/topic/217/some-topic/27?lang=en-GB&page=4

Hanging around in pile of tabs a thing of direct interest and insight!
Google Says ‘Discovered - Currently Not Indexed’ Status Can Last Forever
‘Discovered - Currently not indexed’ in the Google Search Console Index Coverage report can potentially last forever, as the search engine doesn’t index every page.
Search Engine Journal (www.searchenginejournal.com)
What are you gonna do with that?

I understand the content, just wasn't sure what you were referring to specifically.
Anyhow, I've spent time going over everything and it's as best as it can be.
It doesn't seem to be a nodebb problem and just one of the things one needs to understand about Google.I appreciate the input and feedback.
