    rel="nofollow" added to showthread link.. can I stop it?

    I have a piece of javascript that rotates a list of things, one of which is 'latest thread'.

    It appears to work fine on most pages, but on showthread (possibly others), the attribute ="nofollow" is added. The addition of the double quotes around the attribute breaks the javascript.

    How can I stop this from occuring? The ability to define whether " or ' is used would be perfect.

    (I know its vBSEO, and not my own nofollow plugin. I disabled mine, still had the nofollow. Disabled vBSEO, no nofollow. )

    *edit* this happens on forumdisplay as well. :(

    Hi Kall,

    the nofollow is most likely added because you have "Relnofollow ALL Dynamic Pages" enabled in vbseocp.

    Hurrah! That fixed the nofollow .. now what about the fact that the showthread.php is not being rewritten?

    Rewrite Thread URLs?
    Set this option to "Yes" to rewrite thread URLs - this is set to Yes.

    I believe this is because you are extracting the data from the external.php file instead, that is if you are using the addon by Floris from vbulletin.com ? I had the same issue.

    This is related to links included in javascript in a special way (not a plain html link).

    Thanks for reporting!
