Could someone explain what is so bad about Google considering a page to be "cloaked"? I'd really like to set that $refresh option to "1", but I'm worried about what kind of effect it could have on my forums being indexed. :(

Never mind, I found my answer here... http://www.google.com/webmasters/faq.html

had to remove this hack as it allowed people to snoop in to private forums via entering forum id numbers which were not displayed (invisible) on the page listings :(

George,

This worked for me:

does this work with the newest version of vbulletin?

Installed here (and working: pdaclub, dutch language) on vBulletin 2.2.1, so the answer is YES :D

I installed the script, it seems to work, however, i get the error

The requested URL /forums/archive/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

when i click on a particular link.. even though i see all the catagories for my website

thx

please anyone?

Same here, I've edited access.conf to allowoverride all too.

Still nothing.

I DID IT! :D :D :D

Excellent hack! I added page navigation to it though, cause there are some huge long threads on my site and it could kill the server to select all the posts in them.
