Description

Earlier versions used to display a warning message in the admin area if you had your Privacy Settings set to block search engines. Looks like 3.2.1 does not show this warning.

We launched a site this afternoon after a long development period, and spent a while trying to figure out why our meta-tags said "noindex".

The admin warning message was a great enhancement. No reason it couldn't have a "dismiss" button if you don't want to see it again, but it should definitely show up by default.

It's rather unobvious right now, It's at the bottom of the "Right Now" dashboard widget.
