Im getting a blank page.

Any suggestions?

hmm... thats what its showing when im looking at User Online. I believe they should be showing /gallery/imageXXX. Is this a vbSEO problem or a vbadvanced gallery issue?

Thanks!

I should be atleast getting a 404 page instead of a blank page. Sorry for the 3 posts... rambling outloud.

Hello Chris,

I believe that correct URLs are http://www.livingreefs.com/gallery/* ?
I'm not sure where Yahoo got these links, but you can setup a 301 redirection for them, in forums/.htaccess file, right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(cat\d+)$ http://www.livingreefs.com/gallery/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(image\d+)$ http://www.livingreefs.com/gallery/$1 [L,R=301]

What do these two rues do?

They redirect forums/imageXXX URLs to a corresponding gallery/imageXXX URL.

Thanks a million!

The other locations are still showing up with the online user locations and now im getting these...

Code:

http://www.livingreefs.com/forums/showlink-9.html

What could be causing these and where are they comming from?

You can create a similar rewrite rule for redirection:

RewriteRule ^(showlink-\d+\.html)$ http://www.livingreefs.com/links/$1 [L,R=301]

I'm not sure where Yahoo gets these links from.

Why even whit the rule are they showing up in the Online Location? Shouldn't the rule stop this before it happens?

It should not be shown in who's online in this case. However, as I see, the redirection doesn't work:
http://www.livingreefs.com/forums/image1113

it should be redirected to

Code:

http://www.livingreefs.com/gallery/image1113

do you have the rewrite rules entered now?

yes, I have all three rules in my .htaccess located at my root directory /

They should be in forums/.htaccess file, not in the root.

Moved!

Still doesn't redirect.. could you please open a support ticket to resolve this faster?
