    Links pull page titles?

    I'm not sure if this a VBSEO thing, rewrite rules or what. When someone creates a link, the link becomes the "page title" of the subseqent page. Very odd. For example, if you registerd and posted a link here, the link would say Vbulletin SEO forums - Links pull page titles.

    Anyone know what's causing this and how I turn it off. It doesn't seem to affect me as the admin.

    Yes, that is a feature of vBSEO and is good for getting more keywords onto your pages. You can turn it off in your vbseocp.php.

    It's called "Add Titles to External Links". It's in vBSEO 3.0.0+ only, and requires vBulletin 3.5.x or higher.

    I really like the feature, but some of my users have been asking if there is any way of turning it off in their profile.

    Maybe you could consider it as a feature request?

    Hello Michele,

    you can disable this feature globally in vbseocp and there is a special checkbox in the advanced reply window to disable "title extraction" for the current post only.

    Oleg - I know about those options, but I have users who want to disable it for themselves only, which is why I asked
