well I have seen that i had loaded files from legacy mod and when i uploaded the module google seo and it it works
I see only htaccess had the problem.

can some body tell me where to place this htaccess in my sitei tried several ways of editing htaccess text but failed.
present code is
# EXAMPLE .htaccess FOR MYBB WITH GOOGLE SEO URL
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file is identical to MyBB's htaccess.txt example file,
# with rewrite rules for a standard Google SEO install added.
#
# Before using this file please make sure to:
#
#   - replace /MyBB/ with your forum folder, e.g. / or /forum/
#   - replace yoursite/MyBB with your forum URL
#   - name the file '.htaccess' (starting with the dot, no .txt)
#
# Alternatively you can add the required rewrite rules to your
# existing .htaccess, the specific rules required will be displayed
# on the plugin status page once Google SEO URL is enabled.

It is working but i never readed those above things.
here is another question can you suggest me to make urls like this
tid/thread title
or
thread title/tid
I am seeing in the plugin area
Add to .htaccess:

# Google SEO workaround for search.php highlights:
# Make this rule the first rewrite rule in your .htaccess!
RewriteRule ^([^&]*)&(.*)$ http://dripworld.com/forums/$1?$2 [L,QSA,R=301]
I don't have much idea with your question, lets wait the author for that.

Just follow what is being tell in the Plugin area, just add it in your htacess file

Can't help ya with the first part but I can help ya with the second part.

Insert that code in the very top of your rewrite rules before the rules themselves. Then you'll be good.
@DamYan,

thanks for reporting those. I'll fix it as soon as I find the time.

Thank you for the update!

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.


Is this normal?

Yes, and it won't harm anything.
Use XSLT if you want to style your sitemap.

Thanks and what exactly is googlebot doing when it's viewing the xml page?
