Skype links not working

I'm having the same problem as this guy, Links in Skype popup stopped working correctly . My Skype links stopped working.

I replaced the ? with %3F for a temporary workaround. Any ideas on a permanent fix?

Hello,

what is an example link that doesn't work for you - "skype:user?chat" or similar? Does it work with vBSEO disabled?

In my footer, after the forum time, I have the code:

Code:

<a href="skype:echo123?chat">-</a>

but in the View Source it shows up as

Code:

<a rel="nofollow" href="skype:echo123">-</a>

I also just installed mimeTeX, and the information after the ? in those URLs are sometimes garbled as well.

When I disable vBSEO the links work as they should.

Hello,

as I see, you are running vBSEO 2.4.5 at the moment, please install the latest version, which currently is 3.0.0RC6.

I also just installed mimeTeX, and the information after the ? in those URLs are sometimes garbled as well.

When I disable vBSEO the links work as they should.

Could you please provide example URLs for this issue?

I updated my version of vBSEO and everything seems to be working fine now. Everything except URLs with an "=" after the "?". See Test Question

You can add rel="novbseo" to these links to stop them from being processed by vBSEO, like:

HTML Code:

<img rel="novbseo" src="..">

and manually set this in config_vbseo.php file:

PHP Code:

    define('VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO',   1); 


Thanks for the tip.
