    Google Crawl Issue: Duplicate title tags for all polls

    Google Webmaster tools lists that:
    When Googlebot crawled your site, it found some issues with your content.
    More specifically:
    All pages titled 'View Poll Results' have duplicate title tags.

    The same goes for a number of other pages, like whoposted.php. I have disallowed these pages in robots.txt. Still Google indexes them.

    Does vbulletin have a way to resolve this problem?

    I suspect a style problem. Try to reproduce it on a default style:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Add New Style]

    Create a new style with no parent. Then click that style's name in the Style Manager to view your forum with that style. If the problem goes away on the default style then you know it's a style problem at which point you need to systematically revert your custom templates to isolate the problem.

      I'm having the same issue (default style). It seems to be coming from the "View Poll Results" link. Can we add the title of the thread to the "View Poll Results" link?

      Has anyone solved this problem? Google traffic dropping like a rock.
