    Guys,

    I have recently installed VBSEO and have been checking my forum on Google webmaster tools. I also have the sitemap generator installed.

    None of my pages are getting indexed!

    All coming up 404 not found. Any ideas?

    may be something work in your robot.txt file ;) is your forum have sufficient traffic and good number of post. try to get umber of backlinks for your forum so that you can invite Google at your forum for indexing.

    It seems that there is something wrong in VBSEO configuration or after installing VBSEO, your forum's static URLs have been changed and hence you are getting 404 in webmaster tools.

    If you had static URL in your vb forum before installing vbseo, try to setup same URL using vbseo.

    Did you check the xml of your sitemap files to confirm exactly the urls that it's providing for google? Sounds like either the urls do not have the http:... in them or your sitemap is telling them the wrong directory.
