We cannot help with forums that are running vbSEO. Please contact the makers of vBSEO to get support/solutions for the problem you are having.

On a default vBulletin installation, search.php?do=getdaily works.

This has been the problem prior to vbseo. VBSeo did not cause this.

This function does work fine with the original vB code and templates and no add-ons.

I disabled all the plugins via config.php and I used an unmodified default theme and it still doesn't work. Do you think the upgrade to 3.6.5 should fix it ?

[Steve Machol]

You're still running vBSEO. You should try asking them for help. As I said this function does work fine with the default vB code and no add-ons. Upgrading should not make any difference.

I go here:

http://www.orchidboard.com/community/

and still see tons of modifications at the top, left, and bottom. And the site is VERY slow for me.

And most importantly, the URLs of the forums are things like:

http://www.orchidboard.com/community/about-board/

http://www.orchidboard.com/community/introductions-break-ice/

etc. which tells me that vBSEO is still running and your .htaccess file modifications are still in place.

Have you asked for help at vBSEO.com?

I'm on a shared host, sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow... I'm not at the level of a dedicated server yet. Anyhow, I spoke to VBSEO and disabled their hack and I get the same thing. What else is left to try? I'd gladly pay to get this resolved.

[Steve Machol]

Since 'sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow' this is a good indication that it's either a server issue or an Internet connction issue.

Do a traceroute the next time it's slow. If that does not show any problems then the next step is to contact your host. You may be on an overloaded server.

vBSEO has NOT been disabled on your site. There is NOTHING we can do to help until you reverse the changes to your .htaccess file and disable vBSEO.

Based on what you have said I don't think it is vBSEO.

It may not fix things for you, but before you do anything else have a look at your configuration options for search under the ACP.

As you said the problems occurs only for guests, check in two places.

1. ACP > usergroups > usergroup manager > unregistered / not logged in.
Check the "forum searching permissions" and make sure "can search forums" is set to yes.

2. ACP > forums & moderators > forum permissions.
For each forum that you have made any custom changes to, for unregisistered / not logged in, check that the "forum searching permissions" are once again set to yes for "can search forums".

It is important to check in both places, or otherwise it still may not work. For example, if you only set yes for search forums under usergroups, the settings under forum permissions (if set to no) will overide these. Under these circumstances, even though a guest can see and use the link for today's posts, no new posts will be shown.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Typically it's server load though.
