    vbseo not rewriting urls from specific part of internal site

    For some reason, the automatic rewriting of anchor text for urls coming from this area of my site is not working. Works for external and other vb-based internal links tho.

    Check the first link in this thread:

    New Animated Sentinel Prime Images with Headmaster - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards

    Points to here:

    http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...-prime-165399/

    Which is vbAdvanced Dynamics.

    This happens on all 3 installations of Dynamics on my site (3 seperate areas, installations, sub-folders, above forum root), on 2 domains that have the same setup (VBSEO in root/forums/, dynamics = root/dynamics1/ etc)

    I know digg.com gives me the "your site seems to be redirecting too much for our tastes) error, which i think is related to 302 commands. You think this could be what causes it?

    Ha, it didn't rewrite here either, so Im guessing its something with the dynamics rewrite or something else system specific.

    Any suggestions on how to go about diagnosing this, and possibly fixing it?

    No, that link is http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/animated-8/new-images-of-transformers-animated-sentinel-prime-165399/. Its a full-story URL. System root is Transformers News and animated-8/ is a rewrite of a category section.

    I just checked the url in IE and FF, logged in and un-logged in, and its working for me.

    It's redirecting me, unless the I have the cookie set. Don't you have any mods that might do that?

    I dont have any mods that would redirect you anywhere, just VBSEO. Ive tried links again with no cookies, no cache, both browsers, no problems on my end.

    You can check that with one of http headers viewer tools, like:
    View HTTP Request and Response Header

    HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 302 Found

    I am assuming that is the problem that digg.com is mentioning in their denials, and why VBSEO is not rewriting the thread titles in the anchor from there.

    However, I don't understand why you would not be able to see it, but I can.

    I haven't gotten any reports from members on not being able to see it either. Our attachments are linked to the fully story page, and most news is image related, so you would need to see the full story page to see the image. We would have heard about it by now.

    You can see any full story page that I am talking about not working by clicking on the title bar of the center column news stories here: Transformer World 2005 All of those go to full story pages in the affected area.

    BTW, thanks for the support, appreciate the quick responses.

    BTW, here is the htaccess:

    Resides in the root/transformers-news/ directory.

    Looks like a vBa Dynamics problem, it happens on vBa website as well: View HTTP Request and Response Header

    It is, digg rejects any url from this system, any site, even vanilla installs.

    Also happening on another installation of Dynamics I have on another domain.

    I didn't know what was causing VBSEO to not rewrite those links, now i do I suppose, same as other error.

    Ive put in support request thread for a fix there, but they mentioned there is no easy way around it without altering the system (that's what i inferred)

    So question, I know this is not your system, or your rewrite rules, but is there any suggestions on going about fixing this from what you've seen? Any pointers I can either bring to him, or attempt to adjust myself?

    I don't even have vBa dynamics myself, so I can't suggest you a fix, you best option is to get support on vBa site.

    Ive just renewed the request for a fix there, see what happens. Sucks too, because having those links auto-rewritten in first post of threads talking about Dynamics articles is one of the deciding factors in me purchasing VBSEO. Currently, lazy mods just post the link to news story as the entire first post.

    BTW, to confirm, could this issue negatively affect you with search engines, short or long term, other than being a pain in the ass for VBSEO and Digg?

    And, thanks.

    Yes, that would prevent search engines to index your Dynamics pages properly.
