    Can be it has to do with special signs like Dollar or percent
    I see this link does change i. e.



    in the 2nd url the $ sign changed to "%24"

    Seems all the urls have such a special character
    wonder why i get this now so?

    i dont think it has anything to do with now using no www?

    well i did now re-generate my sitemap
    i checked how the urls show up in there now
    seems all have now this "%24" for Dollar and so on

    I still wonder why i have this change on my forum urls?
    trying to remember if i changed something, but just cant figure.

    hope the errors will go away again in my webmaster account

    a few examples:
    $25 upfront + 100% Match Bonus for Poker
    4x 125% Welkomst bonus tot $500 bij 4 RTG Casinos
    20 FREE SPINS and a 100% up to $200 at Ladbrokes Casino

    I fail to understand what is the problem on these two url as both urls are same.

    $ is a special ascii character. Thats why it will not display same as regular characters. If you donot want it to display %24 within urls , you should enable character replacements

    Hi Marina,

    Please look for this option in your vBSEO Control Panel:

    Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?
    Select 'Yes' to replace non-English characters with their English equivalent. Enable this option if your forums are not in English or if any non-English characters occur in your forums (E.g. Café)
    By enabling this feature, the %xx characters will be removed from your URL formats.
