I want to be sure that any discussion between this group on a sub forum is completely private. I have it set so that only 'founder members' and admin can view the subforum. My question relates to what can be seen by search engines. When I submit my website to the search engines and they subsequently crawl the site, can content in the forum be seen?

A search engine can only crawl those parts of any site that do not require a login to view it.

If you have a sub-forum that has the "View" permission removed for certain groups then those in the affected groups will only get to a screen which invites them to send a message requesting access. A search engine will neither generate such a message nor attempt to register, so the sub-forum will remain private.

members using tablets seem to have a problem uploading a profile images. I assume this is a software issue with mobile devices and there is little I can do about it. Any suggestions?

The Nabble Team may be able to help by updating the Nabble software if you can provide more information about exactly what the problem is.
What operating system, IOS, Android, Blackberry, etc and what version is being used? What device? What are the symptoms? Are fields inoperative? Is selection from a drop-down lists difficult? Are buttons unclickable (or should that be tapable)?

Or is it a question of the Tablet users not being sufficiently proficient with their device to know where on their device photographs or images are stored, so they can't navigate there?
