    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);
