WOL display

For some reason locations are shown as unknown for specific posts.

For example copy and pasted today

Unknown Location
/forum/digital-audio-workstations/609-is-it-easy-work-sequencer-post5876.html


Thanks

Hello,

this is a "goto post" type of link (ends with -post5876.html) and is always 301-redirected to another URL, that's why it doesn't have it's own title.

Ohh ok, no problem.

Maybe in the future it would be good if this was ironed out (if possible), it would just make the WOL list look a little cleaner

Regards,

It should only show to admins anyway I think, unless you have given other usergroups permission to view detailed who's online info.

Oh yes your right, not to worry then if only i can see it

Thanks

Is this going to be fixed ? admins or not, displaying "Unknown Location" is a bug IMO.

Paul, what title would you suggest it show?

It should only show if you happen to catch the user during the time they go to the link and before they are 301 redirected to the "real" URL.

Wouldn't the same be true if you happen to catch the Who's On-Line display at the time the user visits this URL, for example?

Code:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...wpost&t=219319

It seems to be affecting spiders, but I would suggest it simply shows as if they were in the thread - i.e. "Viewing Thread" and the thread title, far better than "Unknown Location".

Chris, can you provide us with temporary admin access to try to reproduce the issue (it doesn't happen for me)?

I think I'm having the same problem here and sometimes I get a few unknown locations for images as well.

At the moment i'm working quite heavily on my site, but i managed to get a screenshot of sure an ocasion

The attached image is the bug with a single post, which also happens for the "newpost" extension on the end of an url for members (I have new post urls turned off for guests in vbseocp)

I'm not sure about this and correct me if I'm wrong but are you sure THAT posts exists in the database/forum? Because by the looks of it, it MAY have been removed OR moved somewhere else on the forum. Just double check.

When going to the url shown, it is redirected to:
http://www.music-web.org/forum/guide....html#post3166
So i'm guessing this is not really a bug.

Yeah I knew that the thread has been moved/deleted. Glad to see this ain't a bug in vBSEO anyway.

I think I'm having a few problems here. I don't know but I've checked my forums early this morning and that is what I came up with in the user's online list.

Final Fantasy Fun, News & Updates and Final Fantasy X are actually my forums/sections and I have no freaking idea why it's giving me that error. Can anyone please tell me how do I get this fixed? I think it has to do with vBSEO, however, I'm not quite sure.
