Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).


Known bugs

1. If a user disables cookies, infinite redirect loop.
2. index2, index3 pagination breaks some things. Standard p2, p3 works fine.


Zoints SEO is currently incompatible with: POSSIBLE FIX. PLEASE TRY THIS AND REPORT BACK. THANK YOU!

2. Incompatibility with vBA Links

It works fine in Firefiox, however in IE, when you click on one of the threads, it dosent show any of the thread content

I hate to bump threads, but just wondered if anyone had any ideas!

I'm interested to know about it, as well, as roughly 30% of our visitors still use IE.

wont there be a version for 3.7?

[therogueforums]

Oh, I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure vBSEO paid good money to have work on this hack halted.

Still, doesn't mean people can't take the initiative and make this compatible with 3.7. We can't afford vBSEO right now, because it's just outlandishly priced, but I would gladly donate what we have to Zoints or whomever if they released a new version of this.

Nonsense. The Zoints projects are alive and well, although Zoints SEO specifically may not be a high priority for further development. See http://network.zoints.com/forumdisplay.php?f=35

I do agree with you on the price of VbSEO. It is so silly to charge for a module almost as same price as the main app(vBulletin)
I had to buy one license of vbSEO for one of my forum site after not being able to find something for v3.7.

But I can not buy the second one for my second forum site. I do regret that I chose vbulletin for my second forum site.. Why do not vBulletin has a feature like that almost all web apps(commercial/open source) out there comes with SEO features..

Thanks
