Google caching thousands of duplicate pages with /lang/lang/lang issue

[ctrenks]

you should have access? I re-did the ftp yesterday morning

[kamilkurczak]

Solved!
Already done on your server - can you confirm it?
Examples:

http://www.allfreechips.com/ja/de/pl/afc_contests/dice.html

or

http://www.allfreechips.com/ga/gl/afc_contests/selectpayment.html

Can you confirm it?

If yes - solved and will be included in the next relase.

I can confirm the Non forum urls are re-directing to the base lang, Excelent! The forums are doing a 404 error on these, not sure if that is VBSEO taking over and doing that though?

[kamilkurczak]

so about this issue - solved. About second part of your post - can you explain your question better? I don't understand. Thanks

[ctrenks]

Yes, the link in the forum for to 404 error pages instead of re-directing to the correct URL

http://www.allfreechips.com/ga/gl/phpBB2/rules-read-before-posting/2893-posting-rules.html

will redirect to http://www.allfreechips.com/phpBB2/

Also had a spammer from russia yesterday, Had posts with russian titles and it really screwed up the forum, it actually showed the PHP code from the backend as the posts and removed all the forum controls under it. It wasnt a hach post but it did a job on the forum until I cnahed the title to a normal english one. I wish I would have kept the title for you but its a possible bug to watch out for.

here is a cached version, not as bad as it was on the english one but you can see it distorting the forum above the post as well.

hello,

All urls in main forum folder (on your forum - in folder phpBB2) are created by vBSEO (We can only integrate vBET with vBSEO - to have translated urls), so vBSEO is making a 404 redirect when urls is wrong (We can't change it).
Urls to the pages outside forum folder are made by vBET so I can modify it and redirect a double language to the correct one. I hope this is understandable now.

About the second one: probably the spamer tried to add code or url into post title. This is not a bug.

Thanks solved

So adding a url to the title brakes the forum now? I mean it destroys the page the post is on, and even screws up the thread list
