nofollows and jumpscript not consistent

Hi there -

I've noticed some odd issues with the nofollow and redirect scripts with links on a couple of installs:

1. Not all external links nofollowed
2. Forum sig links not nofollowed
3. Some external links in public areas redirected


For 1 and 2, check this page:
http://www.webhostingworld.co.uk/for...cpanel-49.html

The first post lists a few links, of which 5 are nofollowed and 6 are not. Sig links are not nofollowed.

Strange inconsistency.

(
NOTE: To see nofollow's visually in Mozilla Firefox, here's the instructions:

)

ADDED: You can see sig links for internal links being invariably nofollowed or not nofollowed in the bottom post here:
Blank page on one forum only


For example on no.3, here:
http://www.chronicles-network.com/forum/

check the adsense box with yellow links near the top, and the link directly underneath for "forum" in larger black text. When I view that as a guest it's a redirected link, though I've only selected redirected links for private forums in the vbseocp (so far as I'm aware).



To be honest, a general redirect script on ALL external links would be a great additional option for vBSEO, so if the software can more easily identify external URLs and apply nofollow + redirect on them then that could be a great feature for the future, especially on forums with repeated spamming issues.


Feedback for you, nothing more.

Hello Brian,

thank you for interesting feedback!

re: 1,2
This inconsistency looks really weird. Are you sure there is "nofollow ALL external links" option enabled?


re: 3
This site uses vBSEO 2.2.2 and the rel=nofollow code was improved after that in 2.4.0 (and 2.4.1 )

So far as I'm aware, there is no other nofollow option on. The fact that there's an example on the vbseo forum itself should be helpful.

As for 3 - I'll look to upgrading soon, then.

Hello,

ah, thank you, we will check that

Thank you for reporting!
