    Exclamation 46,000+ Not Found Album Picture URLs

    Ever since enabling album url rewrites, Google webmaster tools is reporting 46,000+ "404 (not found)" errors. Looking through them, they all look like album picture URLs with the old format: http://www.domain.com/album.php?albu...attachmentid=1

    Does vbseo not inform the search engine that the URLs have changed, and redirect them to the updated url like it does with forum threads?

    All vBulletin urls are auto 301 redirected to new url's. Example
    Code:
    http://www.genxglow.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14819&thumb=1&d=1273014294

    Not sure, but I think this may be causing the problem. See this page:
    Sam's Album: Sunday School For Degenerates at WMC 2010

    When you hover over the thumbnails, it shows the old url. For example:
    Picture 1 of 72 from Sunday School For Degenerates at WMC 2010

    Looking over the 404 not found urls, they are all individual picture urls. However, they are listed as rewritten...

    See my attached .txt/.csv file for a slice of the 404 urls.

    The 404 urls in the file, are coming from this album:

    I have made some edits to the album_pictureview template. I basically added a sidebar column to hold a facebook fan box and an advertisement.

    I don't have any modifications installed for the albums area...

    Please try with a default vBulletin Style to see if it works correct with default vB Style

    I believe these Not Followed URLs are due to old sitemaps. I have removed them manually via FTP. This should fix the problem.
