This is weird. Just installed vBSEO on this site, and any of the rewritten URLs are displaying with no CSS and broken images in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Strangely, the CSS and related images DO show in Chrome, but the avatars are still broken.
Here's a sample URL where you can see the problem in action:
GetGamer Gets Upgraded - GetGamer
I'm sure it's something simple, but I've searched through the forums and can't find a solution.

you've got something bad in your template.

That weird character is NOT the problem. Actually, I have exactly the same problem when I use the default vBulletin style (with no template modifications) GetGamer - Powered by vBulletin
When I disable vBSEO, everything is fine.

The template IS in fact stock. I did a fresh vBulletin install with no modifications. There is some other problem (maybe there was a problem with some of the files when I uploaded them via Filezilla), but it is definitely the stock template.

Yes, I did that and when I did, the CSS would not load. The plug-in is currently disabled, and the CSS is now showing properly. Originally Posted by Oleg Ignatiuk

Hello Jeff ,
As i responded via ticket , the error is still there after uninstalling and removing all vSBEO files. You should disable all your hooks via config.php and reupload all original vBulletin files .Mert Gökçeimam / Crawlability Inc.

Thanks everyone for your patience and help.
The problem was with vBulletin's config.php. I had edited this using Notepad, and somehow that screwed it up. I uploaded an un-edited config.php.new then edited directly on the server with nano, and the mysterious characters finally disappeared.
So now I've reinstalled vBSEO and it's working properly -- except for a template issue and the pingback feature (see attached image). Anyone ever seen anything like this before???
- I humbly suggest not using notepad or word or any of those built in programs to edit such files. Originally Posted by BigBlueBall
