Hi after i check some problem reported by google webmaster tools i find an bug very strange.

Example:
Link url only inside vbseo: vBSEO with vBulletin 4.2.0 and iPad users

Link with title copy from vbseo:

Now wen i go to check to rss feed vBulletin SEO Forums - Bug Reporting and check the source code you see someting like this inside the content:encoded

Code:

<a href="!54295!http://www.vbseo.com/f3/vbseo-vbulletin-4-2-0-ipad-users-54295/"

Check the source code this page : vBulletin SEO Forums - Bug Reporting

And you will see this:

Code:

<b><a href="!54295!http://www.vbseo.com/f3/vbseo-vbulletin-4-2-0-ipad-users-54295/" target="_blank">vBSEO with vBulletin 4.2.0 and iPad users</a></b><br /> <b/>

Maybe the problem is only RSS refresh and this post in the first place, and no login with firefox.

I still can't reproduce it and nothing has changed on vBSEO.com
