    Google performs backups daily, at a certain time.

    Until that backup is completed, all search query results will have the old description as Google would deplete lots of their server space if they continuously kept checking the meta tags of each website.

    Thanks!!
    ok so i waited about a day and this issue is still happening i really dont know why? i read it can take up to three weeks to update is that true?

    Also if i disable bots through meta tags then delete the metatag that disabled them will they come back and crawl my forum?

    To answer your top half, yes this is true. It can take up to 3 week to index.

    That might work but its an awful long process for something that might not work.

    You can read this thread to find out more information on bots and other things related (click)

    Well the bots can take awhile for them to index especially when you added a bot removal meta tag. Like the guide said it will take around 3 week.

    So I guess you'll need to wait.

    If you removed the code when the bots come across your forum, they will index what guests can see.
