Before that though I would like to move the like/share on the bottom right just like on here how do I do that? I managed to disable share. If it's not possible to move it then how can I remove the like as well?

Also where do I put the <b><!--VBSEO_RR_1--></b> so it displays under reply to thread instead of on top?

Hello,

Have you installed vBSEO on your vBulletin ?

Sorry, I had to remove it for a second. But it is back up now (:

I reviewed your website,

Here is my suggestions :

• Try to use a forum url structure either with www or non-www (I suggest you to use non-WWW coz WWW is deprecated) >[How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects
• Try To replace vBSEO Relevant Replacements with built in vBulletin Heading tags : VB4 RR's?
• Try to use better a Robots.txt (Here is an example : robots.txt - 1 KB )
• Try to Validate all of your style pages (Forumdisplay , Showthread etc )[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://vampdiaries.net/forums/ - W3C Markup Validator
• Try to use a CDN service (like MaxCDN.com) using vbseo CDN feature.
• Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay / blog pages in your sitemap
• Try to hide Calendar and FAQ only for guests (Using <if condition="$show['member']"> </if> )

GoodLuck

And about your question :

First you need to know that <b></b> is deprecated in XHTML codding, HTML 4.01 / XHTML 1.0 Reference

and in other hand as I mentioned in my previous post , please take a look at HERE for proper structure of vbseo RRs.

regards.

Thanks for your reply.

• Done Last Night Try To replace vBSEO Relevant Replacements with built in vBulletin Heading tags : VB4 RR's?
• Thanks Done Try to use better a Robots.txt (Here is an example : robots.txt - 1 KB )
• I don't understand what this is or how to do itTry to use a CDN service (like MaxCDN.com) using vbseo CDN feature.
• Dont have site map Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay / blog pages in your sitemap

As for the rest I will do it. But for the URL structure I did it and it looks like this.

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.vampdiaries\.net
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.vampdiaries.net/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|api\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]


Is this correct? Also one more question. I notice how when someone posts a URL it doesn't display the full URL only the title of it how do I get my site to do that?

Hello,

I don't understand what this is or how to do itTry to use a CDN service (like MaxCDN.com) using vbseo CDN feature.

please take a look at here :
How-To Set up your CDN

Dont have site map Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay / blog pages in your sitemap

Try to install vBSEO sitemap ASAP, its one of the most important plugins for vbulletin. It will help your SEO.

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.vampdiaries\.net
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.vampdiaries.net/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Try to remove "#" from the beginning of these lines.
and I suggest you to use non-WWW method cuz "www" is deprecated these days.

Regards...

Thanks so much again. I edited my ht.access is it correct now and I removed the www like you recommended.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^\.vampdiaries\.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://vampdiaries.net/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

You Are welcome,

Try to remove these two lines and put below commands into the .htaccess file located at your domain root :

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
