Nah, its just now we have so many more templates modified, seems sensible to just leave it off for a short period while I get templates upgraded and modified.

Installing vbseo, it should work with what vb alredy has but may display incorrectly with some of my custom work, but I will fix it

**Electronic Punk** · August 9th, 2009

Ok, so that was freakishly easy

Seems to be working well for the most part, news rss feed doesn't currently have the new style links and on some threads the blog links down in the bottom right don't seem to work.

I am working on fixing both (latter needs crawlabiltiy help as I have no idea whats going on!)

seo should work pretty good ...

**Electronic Punk** · August 10th, 2009

Yeah, got some help from Crawlability to fix the issue, just need to make sure our sitemaps are correct and what not and keep tabs on it. Should be able to leave it and it will do the rest.

vBulletin update is not out yet, but once it is will start the offline work and research and then begin the updating process.

Not sure if it has anything new and exciting in, but we shall see - mostly PHP update fixes, had it been security it would have been alot sooner.

No major template changes so I did an inplace upgrade.

Fixed bugs:
