Everything works except this ->
http://www.mydomain.com//forumdisplay/f-2.html

You see the double // ?
Everything still works but this is wrong and I don't know how the crawlers react on this.

How can I fix this?
Thank you!

Hi TECK.
I had actually skipped over those bits :nervous:, but have been through 1-3 now, thankyou.
Only one small problem, $bburl doesn't seem to be set for me in index.php and forumdisplay.php. Whenever it's used, it just doesn't work.

If you go to my Forum Homepage and look at the links on the Forum Icons, it's not set correctly, despite using the exact code from your templates.

$bburl is set in my admin panel to:
I could set this manually in the code, but shouldn't need to. Any ideas?

Looks like Domenico is having the same problem judging by his // (double slash).

I updated the code, vBulletin.org site parsed the replacement code I had there...
I see that your icons don't have a link now? You can also use only:It will still work fine.
Try it again and let me know, first with $bburl/forumdisplay/f-... but leave it so I can see it with my own eyes.

Hi, sorry, I'm working on a different template set, and forgot to link to it. Where I'm working is at: http://www.xaprief.com/forums/index.php?styleid=4

I'll have another look now, cheers...



Ok. I used the code you suggested, just:
And it works great. Cheers :)

Does anyone know the dates of google dances? I had one google spider visit my forum yesterday but it did not pick up the link to my archive : \
I have the link to my archive visible but in my footer. Inktomi Slurp picked up on the link and was all over my archive forums but not Google. Any ideas?

Read the first post, is explained in the email from Google tech support. Be patient. :)

Make SURE you leave the name in the alt="...Archive..." tag!!!
You have no idea how IMPORTANT this is. I didn't put it there for fun.
Search engines pick links ONLY from graphics that have no empty alt="" tags.

Your second method to show online locations

It shows the viewing archive thread blahblah

But when you hover over blahblah it doesn't have the archive/ in the link! (uhoh) if you need to test, you can use my test/test account

the case in the method 2 for online.php has

case 'archiveforumdisplay.php':

are those correct?

Ah, sorry.
I didn't use your full template replacement codes, because my templates are different to default ones, and I didn't see those bits. I'll add them now :)

I'd also just like to say a big thankyou to you TECK.
You've offered exemplary, and quite unrivalled, support for this hack. Not only fixing people's posted problems, but also checking their installations for them (ie, me!).

Hats off to you sir.
