Hey guys,

I have a really small forum for a game called Minecraft (think lego but with other people online) anyhow any feedback would be great!

VapidFlats Minecraft Community

I use a CDN
I have a Skin
I do have vBET (I know its a power hog) but its only set to the top ten used languages.
I am using Relevant Replacements

I am haveing a hell of a time getting some images to show up with the new forum skin I have, you will see them on the message box etc. But I hope to resolve that soon!

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

I reviewed your website , and here is my suggestions :

• Try to re-write ../ forum.php to ../
• Try to remove FAQ and CALENDAR only for guests.
• Try to use Robots.txt (Here is an example : robots.txt )
• Try to submit your website in Directories like DMOZ and Yahoo directory.
• Try to Validate all of your style pages (Forumdisplay , Showthread etc ) : [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://forum.vapidflats.com/forum.php - W3C Markup Validator
• Try to include only Showthread / forumdisplay / blog pages in your sitemap
• Try To Disable the vBulletin Sitemap.

Good Luck,
Ali.Ch.

One question, now that I am looking any tips on how to do

Try to re-write ../ forum.php to ../

[A.Chakery]

You should simply rename forum.php to index.php

The images of your website is not being loaded for me.
I think the problem is related to your CDN settings.
