No don't noindex subpages, instead use Rel Prev and Rel Next ( http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html ) to deal with paginated content.

I have page numbers at the bottom of my site. That is basically what you mean right?The problem is that my latest crawl gave me 126 errors for duplicate page title and it's all the pg 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on for each category plus my homepage. So how do I fix that?

Not quite , Rel Next and Prev are meta tags that goes in the head of those individual pages. With the correct implementation google can identify the content as a part of the series .

With duplicate page title issue you could also programatically add Page 2 / Page 3 ? etc towards the end of the title ( In my understanding ... if you implement Rel Prev Next ( correctly ) Google will not have an issue with Duplicate Title / Description on those Pages )

Using Rel next and prev is a great option as this will help Google to determine the archive pages of your website and overall your duplicate content issue will be deduced to zero (or nearer to that)!

OK I see. Well I am using the Wordpress SEO plugin by Yoast and he says the plugin takes care of this problem so I don't know why this is happening. I am using the Genesis Theme.
