    That seems to be a removed thread. Please try to manually disable (set to 0) this option in config_vbseo.php file:
    PHP Code:
        define('VBSEO_INVALIDID_404',          1);

    It is in includes/config_vbseo.php file (you should manually edit it).

    would i do that for a 406 error. the file is thier i just cannot see it. here is what you get when you click on the link
    Internet Explorer cannot read this webpage format

    HTTP 406
    What you can try:

    [IMG]res://ieframe.dll/bullet.png[/IMG] Go back to the previous page.

    [IMG]res://ieframe.dll/down.png[/IMG] More information

    This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that Internet Explorer was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that Internet Explorer can display.
    For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

    You can find config_vbseo.php file in forumsroot/includes/ folder on your host, then open that file via FTP and search for:
    PHP Code:
          define('VBSEO_INVALIDID_404',          1); 
    and replace with:
    PHP Code:
          define('VBSEO_INVALIDID_404',          0); 
    If you need assistance with that, please open a support ticket with FTP access details for troubleshooting.

    406 code gone. incase anyone else has this problem this is what had to be done

    Create a file called ".htaccess" with this code in it:

    Code:
    <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off</IfModule>
    Upload that file to your forum directory.
