Hi,

This morning I have noticed a serious bug in SEO-ed URL's in vB4.

Look at the first original URL

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...etin-community

and the modified one

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...cause-it-sucks

Notice any differences ?

I don't know how to classify that, but its both funny and downright idiotic at same time. How could vB devs allow something like that go unnoticed is beyond me. This can have serious implications on forum rankings, forum reputation and all range of other things. In short hell breaks loose.

This might have been known for a long time, but I just stumbled upon that this morning and thought it's worth sharing.

Regards,
Val.
