yes, the forum/thread names are removed for now, as that's a vbseo function-- which is disabled. it's the generic "sucky" way now.
members with no info under them = guest post... which is why i disabled the plugin. I;d rather have the members assocaited with the posts rather than neat urls for a day.
a staff member has been alerted at vbseo, and he is working on trying to fix the problem.
