Yes. The Forum URL is correct, and so is the HomePage URL. I'm running vBAdvanced, and I used these ---> Click Here <--- instructions to install this SiteMap Generator MOD for vb3.6.4 & vBAdvanced

Step by step on how to get this to work with vBAdvanced and web-root directory!

It's only in the Sitemap_Index file that the location of the Sitemap_1 file isn't explicitly listed. The rest of the links are listed in the Sitemap_1 file with complete addresses (ie, http://www.myplace.co.uk/forum/whateverfile....), but in the Index file the address is only listed as "/sitemap_1.xml.gz" (ie, without the http://www.myplace.co.uk/ part of the address) - google can't find this Sitemap_1.xml.gz by looking at my Sitemap_index.xml.gz file.

This is what's in the sitemap_index.xml.gz file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
- <sitemap>
  <loc>/sitemap_1.xml.gz</loc> 
  <lastmod>2007-01-26T06:12:59+00:00</lastmod> 
  </sitemap>
  </sitemapindex>

It's the...

<loc>/sitemap_1.xml.gz</loc>

...that's causing problems. Google won't recognise that address relating to my domain. Google just sees /sitemap_1.xml.gz NOT http://www.mysite.co.uk/sitemap_1.xml.gz.

I cannot hardcode this line with the explicit address everytime the sitemaps are created, and seems a bit pointless to do this if the sitemaps mod automates the process, anyway.

So, does anyone know how to get the mod to write the full explicit address of the sitemaps in the sitemap_index.xml.gz file?

Thanks in advance for any help.
