Another thing I've noticed, is when I put the latest articles in the vbadvanced Recent Threads module. The URL's of the wiki threads looking like:
http://localhost/vbfinal/forum/http://localhost/vbfinal/forum/showwiki.php?title=XXX
I think this one is an issue of the vault wiki, because any other URL's are perfect in vbadvanced.

I can't see why there would be a conflict with "Can't rate his own thread" if it was written for vB4. If you can, please link me to the mod.
Yes, I've noticed this for years, and it's very frustrating, but I consider the URL problem to be a bug in vbAdvanced, and I'm not sure what's taking them so long to figure this out:
Why they modify every URL to be prefixed with the board URL using their current method is beyond me. A better solution would be if vbAdvanced at least checked the URL first to see if it was a relative URL. Even better (and much more efficient) would be just to use a BASE tag (of course first check to see that there's not already one). The latter method offers the highest compatibility with other modifications and existing sites.
vBulletin's CMS did it the vbAdvanced way until I showed them how it was a problem (it broke certain stylevar configurations on my test board), and they have fixed it (finally) for 4.0.3.
The reason VaultWiki uses an absolute URL is a feature, not a bug - you can set a different folder path for your wiki pages (in the full version).
The only solution I can see is leaving wiki forums out of the vbAdvanced modules, or making your own module that handles the URLs better (see my rant above). It would be a bigger problem if the wiki's navbar links are broken on vbAdvanced pages.
