    URL rewrite bug?

    I've been spectacularly happy with my VBSEO since I bought it just over a year ago. Today, I just encountered what I think is my first bug.

    What happened was this - a member started a new thread, but somehow, when you click any links on the site to view that thread, you're directed to an archived version of the thread.

    What's more, the url displayed in the html of the archived page shows as mydomain.com/.../7574-best-paper-print.html

    But clicking a link to that page directs you to a page with the url:

    mydomain.com/.../7574-best-paper-print-print.html

    Somehow that extra "-print" got placed in there.

    And here's one more weird circumstance. I created a new thread with the same single paragraph of content, but with a new title (that also happened to end in the word "print"), and the very same thing happened.

    I just tried this again with a new thread with no content, but with a thread title that ends in the word "print", and it happened again. I am not able to reach the live version of the thread by any means - I can only get to the archived version, whose url ends with -print-print.html

    Is the word "print" VBSEO's cryptonite?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Has the VBSEO control panel changed since that thread? Searching the html of the vbseo admin control panel page I find only one instance of even the word "print", and it doesn't have to do with defining printthread urls.

    I'm running VbSEO version 3.1.0.

    Thanks in advance.
