    URLs not followed (15)

    today i realized something on my sitemap account page.it is saying URLs not followed (15). i looked at these 15 results and find that all of this urls are including special chars like smiley face or ? ) ( etc. then i looked at the google webmaster help center and it says ;
    If you use dynamic pages (for instance, the URL contains a ? character), be aware that not all search engine spiders crawl dynamic and static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.
    so why my these urls are not followed? because of this characters ? if yes how can i solve this problem;
    here are the urls in the results page that is not followed
    and two more questions
    i am using vba and my portal page is index.php and my forumhome page is forum.php so what option i have to select in?
    Force Forum Root as Homepage?
    When enabled, all links to your forum homepage will be directed to 'vbroot/'. If disabled, your forum homepage links will point to the 'script name' (E.g. forum.php) as defined in your vBulletin configuration settings. This allows users with high PageRank in 'index.php' to use it as their default homepage.
    for the
    "File Not Found" requests handling?
    Select how 'File Not found' requests will be handled:
    - Redirect to homepage
    - Send 404 HTTP code and show a 'Page not found' message
    - Include custom error page. NOTE: The filename should include the absolute path. (example: /home/user/public_html/error.php)
    option i am using "Redirect to homepage" is it ok?

    thanks

    Do you have "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?" option enabled in vbseocp?

    Please open a support ticket with example URLs (domain name is replaced with xxx.com in your post above).
