    I'm beginning to notice more and more, that if you have a hyper link your forums, specifically on phpBB, there's the "&bull."

    Why is that?

    vBSEO seems to be parsing/not parsing the HTML correctly for them and the • HTML entity (round bullet) seems to be affected by it. If you notice the • is where the bullet is on their page titles.

    That's correct - so it's a bug with a few forums.

    You're a lifesaver, Dave!
