Question URL Problem

[SemiWiki]

The SEO software is changing the URLs in the article. It seems to be adding
a tracking code, i.e.

https://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/4188-analyzing-power-nets.html?

?s = c17b33de4cfc0c63b96442df552f945c

What is this code for and can I turn it off? It is causing problems with the site.

That is the vBulletin session URL, which is added (by vBulletin) for guests in order to keep separate guests, well, separate

DBSEO does not interact with it in any way, shape or form and we cannot turn it on or off.

This is the response from vBulletin:

Hello,

That is from a modification. Try disabling your modifications (and removing any
.htaccess for seo rewrite rules) and see if you still have the same issue.

There's been a miscommunication: Lynne is referring to the rewritten URLs, not the ?s=<> bit. The session hash is definitely a default feature, and is not a cause for problems or concern
