This is original from vB_Bootstrap::check_state()

Maybe we should use the whole part, esp. the pemission check?

PHP Code:


		
			
        // check that board is active - if not admin, then display error

        if (

            !defined('BYPASS_FORUM_DISABLED')

                AND

            !$vbulletin->options['bbactive']

                AND

            !in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('login', 'css', 'mobile'))

                AND

            !($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'])

        )

        {

I see- those exceptions are so a site Administrator can still log in even with the forum off. The purpose of this mod is to return codes so search engines are aware of the status of the page- a search engine would never be browsing the site as an administrator... Also simply changing the response code doesn't prevent the page from loading in a browser- so I am confident we don't need the permission check or the script check.

Going to have an update available later today. :up:

i've got "Possible outages" message from Google :

Quote:

While crawling your site, we have noticed an increase in the number of transient soft 404 errors around 2014-05-08 13:00 UTC (London, Dublin, Edinburgh). Your site may have experienced outages. These issues may have been resolved

the example of links that google sent is alive!! I've sent the exact message to you via pm.

Thanks

"transient soft" means that the 404 code was never sent- and as the URLs you sent me were to regular threads and not pages that should usually trigger a vBulletin Error message...

I see they message was dated May 8th - Is it possible your site really had a small outage? I would upgrade to the latest version and monitor to see if you get more issues.

no outage , and i've updated to the latest version today to see the result.

the thing is that traffic has been dropped in last few weeks. it can be from many different things but in this case i'm afraid that this plugin send the same wrong message for exists threads to search engines and indexed links goes down and traffic either.

that's a guess only. correct me if i'm wrong.

thanks

Can it be that google can index from public hidden content on your forums?

I monitor traffic on a daily basis on my sites and clients sites and have this installed on 3 different forums now and I have not noticed any change at all. I am using php4.3 though right now so that could be the reason. It may take time to show any changes in error pages as well.

I plan on upgrading php next week.

Is there any way to test this to see if it works? I have tried but I cannot tell a difference.

If I understand how this works, the test gives you a 200 in the little green box but you see the response code once you hover over it ....hope that helps and hope I am giving you correct information lol ...
