Just installed, and everything seemed to go without a hitch. Created first sitemap via scheduled task manager, the files showed up correctly, and when I look at the reports everything looks fine; it appears that it submitted the ping to google to come grab it.
But I then went in and looked at the xml files themselves, and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of broken links that are created in the sitemap. Many of them are of the Showpost variety, but the archive ones don't seem to work either. Here's an example of one of the listings:
Code:
<url>
<loc>http://www.MYFORUMS.com/forums/showpost.php?p=&postcount=3</loc>
<priority>0.3</priority>
<lastmod>2005-12-10T04:25:27+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
</url>
It just has the "&" after the p, not the actual post number. There are hundreds of these, repeats, with postcounts starting over at 1.
The showthread links look fine; when I copy them from the XML file and post them in a browser they work great.
All of the archive links appear to be futzed up. Here is what they look like:
Code:

None of them work when pasted into a browser. I'm going to disable showpost, archive, and re-run sitemap, but am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?
I'm running version 3.5.2, and I don't have vBSEO installed.
