For Those Who Need it

 

Thanks for the headsup, this could come in handy

 

Yeah it does... i use it on my site. =D

 

Will this work for SMF?

 

yeah it works. again.. i use it on my forum =D

 

I need to get my root to redirect to my index.php on vBulletin system, could osmeone help me by any chance?

 

Access FTP, and change my url of googleminigames.com to your url =D it will work

 

where to put what?

 

Put the code i posted below in a file called .htaccess in your root folder if you dont have one , place that code in notepad or whatever text editor you use and save it as all files but with .htaccess and place it in your root folder should work now

 

You can use SEO modifications that do the job. For example SEO4SMF for SMF. But I guess this is a nice simple way to do the basics. If you search Google, there are plenty of other ways you can make you forum SEO friendly.
