A lot of 302's in Google webmaster tools

[tavenger5]

I have roughly 190,000 302 errors in webmaster tools under the 'not followed' tab.

EDIT
More than half of my thread was removed upon submission. I'll repost without links...




This is happening because of special characters in the URL, in this case * is being linked to as %2A

I'm also seeing it happen a lot with $ in the thread. Is there any way to correct the links or at least make them 301's?

Hi
First can you provide me url with f.e. "%2a"

[tavenger5]

If you look at a page like [url=http://cellphoneforums.net/es/rim-**********/t338831-**********-bold-9700-la-manera-de-desbloquear-un-c%C3%B3digo-contery.html](Espa

If you look at a page like http://cellphoneforums.net/es/rim-black berry/t338831-black berry-bold-9700-la-manera-de-desbloquear-un-c%C3%B3digo-contery.html

under similar threads you'll see this thread:

but the actual URL is:

(take the spaces out of the links - a replacement was replacing phone model names)

Ok
Which browser are you using?
In my browser (opera) I can see urls without accenteds. Also google should crawls this link correctly (with the accented).
I'l have to figure it out why you have so many 302

[tavenger5]

This happens with all browsers that I use, chrome, firefox, and IE (all latest versions).

Google is crawling the URL with %2a (instead of *'s) because that is how it appears under "similar threads".

With normal vBulletin the URL's stay as %2a

For example on:
http://cellphoneforums.net/rim-blac kberry/t338831-black berry-bold-9700-how-unlock-contery-code.html

under similar threads:
http://cellphoneforums.net/sam sung/t226583-%2Aupdated%2A-how-unlock-sam sungs-do-not-post-unlock-code-requests.html

The %2a is not changed to *'s in the URL.

well than i will try to figure it out
