Hi Frostchutz - I only see it on forumdisplay (the datecut thing) - I even see it on MyBB. It only does it on additional pages. It seems to do it when we click the pagination link.

Anyway, another question

Is there a way to utilise the rel=next and rel = prev as recommended in the Google webmaster guidelines?

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.n...lprev.html

Ah, I see. In the forumdisplay, the pages always have datecut= in them.

Still. It's not something to be fixed in / related with Google SEO. You want to change this behaviour in MyBB itself.

I'm really not sure what's going on there anyway, in forumdisplay.php

$datecut = 9999;
if($datecut > 0 && $datecut != 9999)

It's probably missing a few if($datecut != 9999) further down the road. Picking a magic value like 9999 is just silly anyway, PHP can handle unset/empty variables.

In any case, if anything this is a MyBB bug, and off topic in this thread.

I'm not sure about the rel prev/next to be honest. I think it could be counterproductive. From the description it sounds like it would give Google a tendency to always link to the first page - whereas instead it could have pointed you directly to page 107 of this thread where you find a solution to your specific problem... it's hard to tell really. It might make more sense for forum pages rather than thread pages. I think Google should be smart enough to understand ?page=X anyway without such help.

Yeah, that's some weird stuff going on there. Was this introduced as part of 1.8? I seem to remember seeing it discussed in the past.

Thank you for looking into it for me Frostschutz. I see your point re the showthread and next/previous and it would probably be better suited to forumdisplay.

Hi frostschutz ,

How to get the "Forum" Link to the paginated page?

Say, I clicked on a page from second page of threadlist, when I click back on the forum link from the thread, it will take me to the first page of threadlist.

I am using Google SEO 1.6.8 and MyBB 1.6x

@_Jerry_: why do you ask me? It's not related to the plugin at all. MyBB just links to the first forum page.

any help to this post please ?

Hi,

I would like the url as followed -

For forum -
let use gadgets category as example
I would like it to be:
http://www.example/gadgets or http://www.example.com/category/gadgets

For thread -
let use iphone apps as title example
I would like it to be:
http://www.example.com/thread-title (http://www.example/iphone-apps)
if the title have space in between, add a dash like (iphone-apps)

I manage to get my ideal url shown,forum category link works but when i click on thread, it shows invalid forums.

Another wierd things is, when i access http://www.example.com/user/admin, the admin profile page shown, but when i navigate to menu , it shows http://www.example.com/user/index.php and images also broken become http://www.example.com/user/images/logo.png

Thank you.

Can't get this to work.

I get the error "404 Not Found" constantly, when trying to view any user/thread/forum.
I cant work out the problem, I have no errors whatsoever in the plugins page.
