    'VBSEO_NOVER_INFO'
    Thank you! I always remove version info from public display on all scripts I use (where I can) so this is most appreciated.
    I'm using vbSEO for my precious metals forum.

    If you have that option enabled, make sure that you have defined "GARS Article View (garpg)" URL format in vBSEO CP.

    Very handy post mert.

    If I remember there is a setting in vbseo which helps you have a custom name for some of your forums.

    Example we have a forum named as New Member Introductions this appears as follows:
    mydomain.com/New-Member-Introductions

    but we want to keep the forum name short like follows:
    mydomain.com/Introductions


    Thank You.

    PHP Code:
    define('VBSEO_VB_CONFIG',              'config.php'); 

    If you renamed vbulletin config.php for security reasons you need to update this setting to match your new config.php name

    But what step to change path

    ex
    PHP Code:

    How can I set characters replacements in the array()? Can you give an example please?

    You can fill it in with name=>value pairs, ie

    $vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
    'Ê' => 'e',
    'Â' => 'a',
    'ê' => 'e');

    removing the version (nice) seems to remove the affiliation ID though :(
    You could have said instead of rewriting my signature.

    Yes, once the link is removed there is no where to place the affiliate link.

    However, you can add a text link anywhere you would like. You can also choose one of our banners at www.vbseo.com/aff/ as well.

    I mean, because the affiliation part of the vbseo CP converts the footer into an affiliation link (as oppose a standard link), the affiliation link is remove, but the link (standard) is retained.
    It's not a big issue for me, but thought i'd mention it.
