The first thing I would say there is that you are not on the latest release of the software. You need to update your site to the latest release and test again in the first instance

did the upgrade but same issues.

Before I look further at this, could I ask if there is a reason you dont have the rewrite URLs in place?

You don't have friendly urls.

Go to ACP > SITE PROMOTION > Search Engine Optimization.

Turn on Enable Friendly URLs? and Rewrite URLs?

BTW metatag description is not for keyword spam, you should add a description that is simple and friendly to search engines.

i just turn friendly url on and its work or i have to do some thing else also.

and i didn't add the description?  i think its description i add , or i have to add some where else?

You still don't have a friendly url. Download the .htacces file from ACP and upload it to the main forum directory.

You did, but the description doesn't follow SEO basics.

I would recommend taking advantage of this time and working with your hosting provider to see what you need in the .htaccess. If it is nothing, you can use the one from the ACP. If you need items in your existing .htaccess, you will want to copy the script from the ACP's .htaccess you downloaded and put it in your existing .htaccess. Once you're done, you'll want to test for any issues.

Did you do the above? And if so, have you now got the problem sorted?
