changed settings went from 46K urls to 4k urls

Don't really know what this means in the sceam of things.

following some suggestions on the forum i changed 2 settings

VBSEO under permalinks, changed from display permalink beside show post to replace post number replace post number link with permalink

sitemap settings under ifyou have vbseo, include old urls, from yes to no

before changes had 46K urls after change have 3,399 urls in the report

would appreciate any advise, thanks

that sounds about right.

you elimiated all dupe urls and show post, so now you just have treads left.

do you have about 4000 topics on your forum?

i feel pretty stupid but how do i know how many topics there are, i doubt there is any where near that.Forum Statistics: 3,232 Members, 2,787 Threads, 15,390 Posts

also does this somehow correlate to indexed urls on google?
