It's a bit offtopic here, but just to mention, I tested impact on server from "like system", both vBSEO, and DBTech's own APTL.

Before both systems had biggest impact on server of all mods I have. They doubled spent resources. Although it's not quite right, if you have 1000 users barey, without any of likes mod, you could have 2000.

Also, vBSEO used a bit more of server resources than DBTech's APTL.

But, DBTech develops it's mod still and now APTL has almost none impact on the server resources. I wrote more about this fact in APTL thread.

Anyway, many sites that use vBSEO basically need to show 10 posts per page, to have similar impact on server with 25 posts per page. With APTL you can have 25 posts per page if you want to. And go to 10 posts per page if you want more users on you forum with same server.

There is a problem shown in Google webmaster tools

Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.
Sitemap : /XXXX/sitemap_index.xml.gz

DBSEO version 2.0.7

vBulletin.org receives updates approx. 1 week later in order to allow me the opportunity to receive new issue reports in a format I can work with. It's nigh impossible for me to effectively provide support here @ vBulletin.org.

First of all, do not manually fill in either of those fields.

Here's the complete, step by step instructions for how to authenticate with your Google account:
1. Disable any CloudFlare integration for the DBSEO CP
2. Disable any popup blockers in your browser for the DBSEO CP
3. Click either Webmaster Reports or Google Analytics Reports
4. Click the Authenticate button
5. A new tab will have opened containing an authorisation request. Make sure you sign in with the Google account previously associated with your Google Analytics and/or Google Webmaster Tools accounts
6. Copy the code from the text field and click Authenticate again.

You asked for a way to hide it from the public. The information displayed is essential - reporting "There is an error, please fix." is about as useful to me as me telling you "go over there".

DBSEO cannot determine whether the user receiving the error is an administrator or a user, because vBulletin with its permissions system has not loaded yet.

Therefore, the full error message is displayed, including diagnostic information I require in order to assist (e.g. MySQL version).

That is not the correct sitemap file. Please submit /dbseositemap.php or use the Webmaster Report page to auto-submit the /dbseositemap.php file.

Sorry to disappoint you I tried your steps but it doesn't work.

Still shows :
Error fetching OAuth2 access token, message: 'invalid_grant: Code was already redeemed.' on line 119 in /var/www/XXXXXXX/dbtech/dbseo/includes/3rdparty/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php (code: 400)

Anyway are these used for show only reports ? or also improve seo activity ?

If it is to show reports then I'm okay with this issue, I can see the reports from the google page itself.

* There is an issue with Reddit social button not appear .. all other buttons work

** The first button is facebook then (twitter , google+ .....) are not in straight line, Facebook is under them and the rest is upper on stright line

I have a question : if I use htaccess password to dbseocp directory is that affect it is operation ? because I want to use it for extra security.

This is not a problem in our mod, it's most likely to do with the CloudFlare integration. We have had no other reports of this happening.

They eliminate some steps such as automatically signing up for GA or GWT and auto submitting sitemap, but other than that it's currently only for reports.

We use AddThis to add our buttons, we don't control the script they use to display the buttons.

Please try this in a default (unmodified) skin.

That is untested, I cannot guarantee it'll not affect operation but it shouldn't.

1- Maybe because we use cloudflare apps for GA & GWT and shows as the code already redeemed ?

2- Okay , but GWT automatically download the sitemap and crawl the site frequently after the submission of the sitemap , Right ? so what is the difference if the mod auto submit and the GWT redownload the sitemap again ?

===Update===
GWT shows 1 error & 2 warnings after the submission of the sitemap

Issue : Empty Sitemap

Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.
/XXXXX/dbseositemap.php?fn=dbseo_sitemap_poll_6.xml.gz

But when I check it by myself the file is not empty and contains urls of the poll, is everyone have this like me ?

About the 2 warnings : When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot due to an HTTP status error. All accessible URLs will still be submitted.

It shows 2 links but it opened fine from my browser :\

I have some user registered on the forum with the name such as "Mr.mjscdo" but when try to enter on the profile page, SEO change to ""Mr-mjscdo" with a dash instead dot. so I have got sql error.
Is this a bug... How can I solve this...

This is not a bug, and any DB error would not be related to his name. Without the error message, I wouldn't be able to assist you.
