I'm using Google Webmaster Tools to get my forum out there, and when I go to submit the sitemap I get the following error:

Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported
sitemap format instead.

I've gotten this on numerious directories and files. I thought /public_html/forums/store_sitemap would do it, but I got two of the exact same error message. I've even tried downloading and uploading a sitemap.xml document, but it gave me the same thing. It's the same error message for everything. I'd like to keep this as automated as possible since vBulletin can generate a new sitemap upon my choosing.

I downloaded your sitemap file using wget and ran it through xmllint which checks it for errors. You appear to have a problem with the character encoding.

$ wget www.vivalanation.com/forums/xmlsitemap.php?fn=vbulletin_sitemap_thread_0.xml.gz $ xmllint xmlsitemap.php?fn=vbulletin_sitemap_thread_0.xml.gz
xmlsitemap.php?fn=vbulletin_sitemap_thread_0.xml.gz:1234: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xF1 0x6F 0x6C 0x2D

Google won't be able to read your file unless you fix the UTF-8 encoding issues.
