Observations:
External Links - Anonymise External URLs: default setting is currently "Yes", probably should be "No" the majority of the people will probably not want anonymized external links.
External Links - There is currently not an "Internal Links" options section. Will this be added? Do we need to currently whitelist the forums domain in the External Links options?
Manage Stopwords - On vbSEO import the default DBSEO "Stopword List" can be overwritten and there currently is not an easy way to get back the full original list. The external link which has a copy of the list - is not easy to copy and leaves blank lines in between words. Would be convenient to be able to click a "Restore Default List" or something similar to get back to the DBSEO provided original list.
