Note: The code is now updated here with the bug fix.

We are at production level. However, bugs are a fact of life in the software development lifecycle. As in the past, we will continue to do our best to provide fast upgrades whenever an issue (large or small) is identified.

Thank-you for being the first to alert us to this issue.

As for Yahoo sitemaps, we have not found any documentation indicating that the URLs need to be URL encoded. However, Yahoo just updated its sitemap format. They accept either RSS or single URL submissions. So, we are now working on upgrading the plugin.

I totally disagree with your assessment of the number of URLs affected. It was not a few, it was ALL vB showpost URLs. But it's fixed, water under the bridge.

You're doing good. But you have a bigger responsibility here then the average hacker. It's great to see the code up to date. Asking this to happen faster and more accuartly may seem like being a pain in the A**, but it's necessary that we be dilligent when we hack what will affect folks in the SERPs.

Thanks for the reply and a great hack. I'm glad to see you taking this critisism professionally.
