It's also opening internal links in a new window and I have http://glitchpc.com added to the Whitelist.

Uninstalled...went back to using NuHit's mod...at least I know that's working as it should.

Thanks, anyway...for the help.

thank you i will wait to see more tests
thank you

So, you got it working?

The whitelist is wildcard based, just like VB's email or ip banning. If you add http://glitchpc.com and the link is to http://www.glitchpc.com it will not match.

I suggest adding to your whitelist as just "glitchpc.com"

If you mean this mod:

It hurts you, technically.

When I first installed this mod...I uninstalled NuHit's mod first.

I followed the directions to install your mod. I used glitchpc.com and http://glitchpc.com in the whitelist and neither worked. By the way...my site is configured as http://glitchpc.com...without the "www". Even rebuilt the post cache. Still could not get your mod to work.

Also read your blog and the latest info from Google regarding "nofollow". I do not use no follow...so I can't see where using NuHit's mod is technically hurting my site.

The only difference, I can see, between these two mods is that NuHit's is working for me...and yours is not.

So...sorry to say...I have to use something that works...

Good luck with your mod...

Doesn't the NuHit mod put in "rel=nofollow" tags? If you are you *are* using the "rel=nofollow".

As I understand it "rel=nofollow" is not looked at any more so one might as well not use them. If I'm not understanding this, please let me know.

I've never worry about outbound links because the moderators and I monitor them closely, but this mod sounds interesting. I'm always interested in vB forum SEO.

Smitty...

NuHit's mod settings will allow you to turn "rel=nofollow" links on/off.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't really looked at that NuHit mod. Probably because I bought the Mediawiki integration mod (which is still working on vB 3.8.3, but with an old version of Mediawiki) and the NuHit guy disappeared. I should have looked at that mod closer.

On the other hand, in my forums we monitor all external links very closely so we're not too worried about external links to 'bad neighborhoods'.

On or off, you'll lose linkweight either way. That was the change, used to be using nofollow would save linkweight, now it doesn't. It used to mean you kept the weight, and the linkee didn't get any. Now it means you lose the weight, but the linkee still doesn't get any.

I've a question for you though, if you couldn't get it installed, how is it you noticed the whitelist not working? If links were being redirected, it was obviously installed. This is where you confuse me.
