Introduction
Dear Friends,
After much thought I have decided to release part of my upcoming DCSEO modification to the community for free.
What does this modification do?
This modification offers you the facility to track URLs that link to threads on your forum. Instead of me trying to explain to you what a linkback actually is I'll link you to wikipedia's explanation of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkback
This modification implements refbacks, but not trackbacks or pingbacks (these will be included in the DCSEO modification). Any sites that the system *thinks* link to you, are put into an approval queue in the admincp which you will see in the left-hand nav after you install the mod. This moderation queue can be turned off, but I would strongly reccomend never turning it off!
The reason this will offer you a major benefit to your search engine rankings and PR (for google), is that it will create relevant inbound and outbound traffic to your forum which the search engines love.
Installation
Download the attached zip and open the readme.txt file, and follow the instructions within it.
Support
I will be around to offer support wherever possible, but please do not PM me asking for support, as I will not respond. If you have any bugs, report them in this thread and I'll fix them as soon as possible. I am rather busy at the moment with work during the day, and full-time development of the DCSEO product in the evenings, so please be patient with me if I take a little while responding to your posts.

Apparently there is a bug with 1.2 version. Say you get 4-5 linkbacks and you only want to approve one. You tick yes to the one and the others are left ticked to leave, it doesn't matter it still approves all links and post them in the threads including search engine links. Are you aware of this and are you working on a fix?
I ask several days ago where you can edit and delete the links and still no reply. This hack is supported isn't it?
Are you using the latest version? You should not get any search engine links at all. Have you edited the blacklist in your admincp? I will be adding the ability to delete refbacks, but not edit them.

Dean unless you have another version other than 1.2, I am running the latest. Are you suppose to goto the blacklist and add the search engine each time before you approve your legit forum links? I wouldn't think you should half to do that if hack is working properly. You should be able to approve the links you want and then remove the ones you don't want afterwards, but if I approve one they all get approved.
So now if I have search engines in the mix with forum links I deny them all or I will end up with refback links to the search engine on my forums.
It shouldn't be. Have you approved any links thus far?
No mate, I have no activity whatsoever. I can see the plugin is installed, I have been back over everything several times, reinstalled, re-uploaded etc, still not had anything to approve.

No, you add anything to the blacklist once, and all future refbacks that match will not be approved.

If you need any more details, just say the word
Link to one of your threads here, then click on it. You should get a refback in your admincp

Does your program work with wild cards? If not you know google has a wad of serach engine like google.it, google.uk, google.nl etc. Adding just google.com doesn't stop them all, you half to add each individual one.
Another for instance, yesterday I had four refbacks to approve for the same website and thread. I tick yes to one and left the other three to leave and all four where approved and added to the bottom of my forum. What's up with that? Seems to me only the one should have been approved and the the other three left.
