Those are links to other web sites, yet for some reason vBSEO has rewritten them. Now they point to what ever page you happen to be viewing when you access the drop-down menu.

For example: If I'm looking at "my home page" and I mouse over the "Links" menu, all the (external links) within that menu point to "my home page" --> (http://www.thecouchpotatoes.org/forums/#) instead of the links actual url.

All my other menus work perfectly. It's just the external links I'm having problems with. Clearly this has something to do with one of the many vBSEO features, but which one?

Thank you,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Can you post the relevant template (or portion of template) where the link html is?

That didn't work: Apparently it has to be done in conjunction with this:
Quote:
1. modify postbit template and add rel="novbseo" to the member URL links (these links will not be processed by vBSEO as a result), VBSEO_ALLOW_REL_NOVBSEO should be manually enabled in config_vbseo.php:
and I wasn't able to fine that setting in my config_vbseo.php
