ATTENTION About 6 or 7 posts were lost today due to a database hiccup. I'm pretty sure the bug mentioned in the last visible post was ironed out - the code in 2.3.0 Patch Level 1 should prevent this in most cases.

I'm getting this in my Javascript Error Console.
That's a facebook JS error. Note that you have facebook open in another tab. I think that error is from its JS that constantly checks for new notifications and IMs.

I finally got around to looking at Google Webmaster Tools to try to figure out why none of our wiki material is being indexed. It turns out all (I think) of the wiki articles show up like this:
http://mb.nawcc.org/showpost.php?p=372633&postcount=1
I was hoping to find the solution in this thread, but it is one of those that suffered from your database problem, I think. At least there are a lot of blank posts here.
I did not look at them all, but I think all of our wiki articles are in posts that show up like the one above as broken url's. Is there something straight forward I can do to fix this?
(I will be happy to post this as a new problem if this thread represents difficulty.)

The white page on showpost.php for wiki articles is solved (and gets Google to stop complaining) by this: http://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/598/page2/
However, I have no idea why the wiki articles would be indexed as showpost. There is no physical showpost link for article content (so it makes no sense how the Googlebot even finds the URL in the first place), the canonical links (which Google should be using for the index) are the correct article page, and your wiki articles are otherwise displaying correctly.
I ran a Google search for "Illinois Bunn Special" and your Book on the subject appears on the top of the 2nd page, so for me it looks to be indexed properly.

Since the changes in VaultWiki, I am unable to find a simple. working instruction how to enable simpleurls in combination with vbseo..... Maybe a quick guide could be created ?
Since the changes in VaultWiki, there are no longer any conflicts that require special instructions to have simple URLs in combination with vBSEO. The Configuring .HTACCESS instructions should work fine.

Well, let me rephrase: I would like to know how to convert the wiki urls to simple urls.
The instructions I found were all for the pre-vbSEO working ok.
vbSEO is working for my forum just fine.
VaultWiki is also working fine, but just not have nice urls.
If you already have the .htaccess rules in place as per the article I mentioned above, go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> VaultWiki: Server Settings -> Simplify Wiki URLs? -> Yes.

Ok, I was able to fix it myself. The Simple urls work.
I have one issue still. When searching for a specific term (e.g. frogs), the url from a search result will look like:
http://www.example.com/showwiki/Title+of+the+Article&highlight=frogs
This is then redirected to:
http://www.example.com/showwiki/Title+of+the+Articleand+highlight+frogs
These are the .htaccess rules I have in place for VaultWiki's simple urls:
I do use vbSEO as well. Could that be the culprit?Code:RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?title=(.*)$ showwiki/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^showwiki/Default:(.*)$ showwiki/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^showwiki/(.*)?$ showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA]

Thanks, that fixed it ! I guess these changes will be in the next version as well ? (Else I need to make a note that I made these changes)
This particular change since it was reported within 72 hours after the release, is now in the current version (2.5.0), and will be applied toward any future versions as well.
