    vbAdvanced "Recent Forum Threads" url different than actual post url

    Hi I just installed vBSEO 3.2.0 and noticed that a link in my vbAdvanced "Recent Forum Threads" is this:

    http://www.u-assist.com/forums/us-20...berals-so.html

    Clicking on that brings you to this post
    http://www.u-assist.com/forums/us-20...rah-palin.html

    Will this cause problems because of different urls pointing to the same place?

    edit: the url is displayed cut off here, but viewing the link itself will show the discrepancy.

    Thanks!

    Oleg, I tried all the things in the thread (and sub-threads) and it didn't help. My vbseo global start was already at 15 and cmps was 3 and setting the "process php in a function" setting to yes didn't seem to make a difference.

    So, vbseo is processing the link, if I turn off vbseo, those links turn into showthread.php?goto.... links

    What I noticed is that my recent forum threads subject gets shortened to fit the cmps column, so a thread who's subject is:
    "If liberals are so tolerant, why the politics of personal destruction against Palin"

    gets shortened to:
    "If liberals are so..."

    Likewise the urls get shortened from :
    {domain left off}/forums/us-2008-presidential-race/1637-if-liberals-so-tolerant-why-politics-personal-destruction-against-palin.html

    to:
    {domain left off}/forums/us-2008-presidential-race/1637-if-liberals-so.html

    Does it matter? Will that page lose any PR because of these duplicate links?

    Thanks,

    Try to modify vBSEO's "threadbit_process" plugin code in vB admincp:
    FIND:
    PHP Code:
    isset($thread['forumid']) 
    ADD ABOVE:
    PHP Code:
    (THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index') &&

    Hi Oleg,
    Do we need to apply this change to 3.3.0?

    Do you have that issue as well? If yes, it should be applied.
