    It looks like you have something installed that is changing words into links in the thread title. What tool/hack are you using to do that? Might be a conflict.

    I just have some vb Replacement Variables in place so that when certain words/phrases are used by the users of my forum it will link to that words definition in my MediaWiki Wiki...

    Are you using the NOHTML version of the RR?

    Example:

    <!--VBSEO_RR_2_NOHTML-->

    Nevermind. I just noticed that the HTML is being inserted into the META Page Description instead of a RR. I'll ask Oleg about it.

    Don't you have a special software that turns "Kenny Troutt" into a wiki link in that case?

    I just have some vBulletin Replacement Variables in place
    Oh, I see. Does it work correctly with vBSEO disabled?

    Oleg reminded me that vBulletin adds the thread title to the META Description tag, and it seems that vBulletin is also applying the replacement variables to the hidden META Description tag.
