Hello,

It is supposed to be used by crawlers, so that they can easily find the (new) pages of your site.

More info:

Also, IPS uses a sitemap index, which links to the sitemaps with the links from different areas of the suite.

Ok.

Looking at how IPB4 works

= Profile information 

http://www.xxxx.co.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_profiles_1

= status information

http://www.xxxx.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_content_core_Statuses_Status_1

= Homepage Topic headings

http://www.xxxx.co.uk/sitemap.php?file=sitemap_content_forums_Forum

What about new posts and new topics?

Thanks
