    Question vBulletin RSS2 and vBSEO

    My friend exports one of the forum's RSS feeds using

    http://www.calpolyonline.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=32

    However after installing vBSEO, the RSS does not output the feeds as it used to.

    The following is the error message:
    Code:
    I went ahead and reactivated the live updates. But the front page news
    RSS feed appears to be broken. (along with all the links to the
    individual urls.)
    
    http://calpolyonline.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=32
    
    The list is no longer populated for some reason, the title and
    everything works, please look into it?
    
    Also, the forums as a whole don't work for me - the links to the pages
    dead end with the error:
    
    "Not Found
    The requested URL /f32/september-tapes-movie-2660.html was not found
    on this server.
    
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
    use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.34 Server at calpolyonline.com Port 80"

    I don't see any forums on your site with the ID of 32. Is it a hidden forum?

    This one, for example, works fine: http://calpolyonline.com/forums/exte...ss2&forumids=2

    Yeah, the RSS2 feeds all work correctly before and after vBSEO was installed. The problem comes when the specific forum ID is attached to the rss2 code.

    That is strange, forum 2 does work but not 32.
    The forum ID 32 is a sub-forum under the Announcements (top) and is a public forum.

    Ah, ok I found it.

    Front Page - Cal Poly Forum-Pomona, Professor Evaluation and San Luis Obispo

    It doesn't have any recent posts, so that could be it. How far back do you have vBulletin set to pull RSS threads?

    vBulletin AdminCP->vBulletin Options->External Data Providers->

    Thread Cutoff
    This value controls how many days in the past that updated threads will be chosen from. Busy forums will want a smaller number. The smallest valid value is 1 day; the default is 30 days.
