You do have one: http://cornygraphics.com/robots.txt

Also, this is the sitemap URL you should be submitting to Google: http://cornygraphics.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Yes, i Uploaded all the fellows and installed the plug-in but instead of uploading the .htaccess i edited the .htaccess that came with vBSEO and put this at the end

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
And installed the Product it came with.

the default vbseo htaccess has the sitemap rule in already.

there is no edit need to be done.

re-upload the default vbseo htaccess and then try again to access that link
