I clicked the one in classifieds...

the one you posted includes the term 'highlight=shane' and that causes the error :

What does that mean?
 
Clicking on

Post 4 yes it works

Post 7 no it does not

On my home laptop.

I had to come to this thread and click on post 4 to reply on my thread.
 
I'm 90% (;)) sure this is a problem with the URL rewrite rule handling the percent sign in the title.
Note the crucial difference in the links:
.../274628-four-33x9-5x15-ats-over-90%-left-portland.html (broken)
.../274628-four-33x9-5x15-ats-over-90%25-left-portland.html (working)

The forum software redirects to the second link after truncating the ?highlight=shane portion of the link (it probably sends a 302 header (found) so that the browser pulls that link. Honestly I've had a few too many :beers: to capture the headers and check, but logically that's what it should do) Sounds like it's not properly escaping the percent sign in its redirect.

This is probably a bug to submit to the vbSEO people. %25 is the proper escape sequence for the % character (oddly enough ;)). You might be familiar with the idea if you've ever noticed one of your spaces converted to %20 in a URL.
