vBSEO 3.2 Dead link issue

Not sure if this has been addressed in the latest ver but when a user posts a URL vBSEO contacts the site to grab the "Title" tag (I believe) and changes the URL text to the title tag, but if at the time a user posts it, if the site is unable to be contacted (site down) then we get a server error.

Any idea's on this?

Thanks,
Jon

If the page linking to does not respond, it should just add the URL without the anchor. I also recommend upgrading to 3.3.0

Well, it doesn't, instead it throws a MySQL server gone away error.

The page times out, but while vBSEO hangs waiting on the page to load, the SQL connection gets dropped.

Hello,

you should increase wait_timeout setting in MySQL configuration on your server to avoid that.
