nofollow bug found with CRR

Hello the vbseo team,

I have found a vbseo behaviour with nofollow. I have this nofollow configuration actually:

Internal rel="nofollow"s

1. Add rel="nofollow" to ALL Sorting Links NO
2. Add rel="nofollow" to ALL Dynamic Pages NO
3. Add rel="nofollow" to Links pointing TO Member Profiles FROM Postbit NO
4. Add rel="nofollow" to Links pointing TO Member Profiles FROM Forumhome NO

External rel="nofollow"s

1. Add rel="nofollow" to ALL External URLs YES
2. External domains "Whitelist" = heapoverflow.com

However vbseo keep adding a nofollow on some link of my allowed domain on my navbar for example, the link

<a href="usercp.php"></a>

is rewrote in my CRR '^usercp\.php$' => 'profile/[NF]' then the link in the source shows

<a href="http://heapoverflow.com/f0rums/profile/" rel="nofollow">

. It's not good because vbseo thinks it is an external links and add a nofollow ... I have found a workaround to this which is to hardcode in the template the link

<a href="http://heapoverflow.com/f0rums/profile/"

instead of

<a href="usercp.php"></a>

but that's not the correct way to patch and that's much to you to patch vbseo than me playing with links. You can check the bug in live in my forum, I have just hardcoded hxxp://heapoverflow.com/f0rums/directory/ in the template, this patches at least the directory link which must be followed but almost all others links have a nofollow ..

Hope this could be patched.

Since heapoverflow.com is not an external domain, you should not get rel=nofollow added by vBSEO. Don't you have nofollows with vBSEO disabled?

nop there is no more nofollows when disabling vbseo completely and I did a fewer check, when disabling the CRR

'^usercp\.php$' => 'profile/[NF]'

bug is gone and nofollows also gone , but if I setup back the CRR , nofollow appears again

Yes that what I think about the whitelist however even removing it from the whitelist doesnt change something on the issue, was just to be sure there is no nofollows to my domain

//edit: I have checked I think all my CRR'ed links have nofollow added, you can look at the Project Tools section which I have CRR'ed because vbseo does not support it yet

It looks like a big bug to me for a SEO software adding nofollow where it shouldn't hehe ^^

haha no I see , That is the [NF] thing of the default CRR that were written to the config files but I didn't find any documention about what is it , so I added it and now I see

[NF] in CRR's = nofollow

I think you should add a note under the option , I didn't know I have built all my CRR with a nofollow hardcoded in the CRR lol :/

I see now, glad it is sorted now!
