On Nov 23rd I upgraded my vbulletin from 4.1.7 I think to 4.1.8 and on the 24th my traffic dropped, well logging into Google Webmaster Tools I see that on that date my site started showing 100,000 pages not found, 404 crawl errors. I looked at the URLs that are generating this error and they are all coming from my forum. What they look like is this:
It appears that what is happening is either a submit/ or faves/ or /bookmark/ are being appended to these urls that should be outgoing links and not spidered by Google are being shown as actual pages of my site and have caused a decrease in my ranking and indexing> (seems like it) and an increase in the 404 errors (obviously)

Does anyone know what is on these pages of my forum that would be generating this and how I can fix this problem? Thanks
