    Hi,

    I need some help with .htaccess and vbulletin.

    A forum currently displays http://example.com/showthread.php?t=1 and it would be nice have it displaying something like http://example.com/1

    People speak on vbSEO but this seems possible to solve with an .htaccess rule.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    The rewrite part wouldn't be too hard, but then you have the issue of needing to change all the links in your existing forum to link to the new URL. That is the bigger task.

    Hi Shawn,

    Thanks for the reply, coming from you it's an honor indeed.

    I've found TFSEO: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=173738

    Which seems lightweight and a good help to start customizing as needed, if you (or anyone) else stumble on any other solutions please do let me know.

    :)
