What I should think about such numbers:

236,602 not indexed pages
35,765 indexed pages

Depends on how much fluff you have on your site. Google is smart enough to bypass the BS and get to the meat of the site.
Fluff is great for immediate gratification... but if you want long-term... you have to have some heavy meat that they look at.

If your GA organic results are decent.. be happy.

I am not sure for 100%, but I guess that i have "no index" for many pages like the profiles, search and other non relevant things.
The question is now: What is indexed? 35T+236T from the pages to index or from all existing pages?

And then: How can a site have such numbers with maybe 10.000 threads and 10.000 resources?
This makes never ever 35T pages. So why Google is talking about 236.000 pages not indexed?

You will simply have to spend some time delving into what was not indexed... and then doing comparators with what is restricted by robots.txt and then XF itself.... and don't forget Google's "secret sauce".
As I said... Google is smart enough to kick BS data to the side.

Ok;
non indexed pages are for example /threads/this_is_a_thread.123/#post234

and maybe google does not like titles with a lot of foreign chars.

and maybe I should check more places to have "no index/no follow"

Valid thread that XF is not set to no index... then should (if a thread of quality) be indexed... but if a simple "fluff" post then Google may be smart enough to kick it to the curb if BS.
That's one of the issues.... if the threads are basically BS... does Google realistically "ignore" them and kick them to the curb (appropriately) as to their desire to provide decent content?

I really don't think "foreign characters" have a lot to do with their indexing. I think they are getting tighter on recognizing "crap".
And realize... Google isn't going to index EVERY post you have on your site.
