Should work without issue, if you change ALL URL schemes to postfix style, since postfix style is incompatible with prefix style. Alternatively, you'd have to use .f or something for the postfix (or some other punctuation character which can not appear in the prefix URLs).

That's not so, but if you had that setting on and URLs in this style were created, those URLs will not be updated until the item is accessed again.

For plain postfix style URLs, the rules provided by Google SEO itself (on the plugins page) should work fine. Again except for compatibility issues with prefix URLs. You can't have both at the same time (Forum-Thread could either be a Forum named Thread, or a Thread named Forum, impossible to tell if you use prefix for one and postfix for the other).
Quote:# Google SEO URL Forums:
RewriteRule ^([^-f/]+)-f$ forumdisplay.php?google_seo_forum=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
Not sure where you got [^-f/] from, but that's definitely not what you want. Stick to the default.
Quote:My entry for "Thread URL Scheme" in Settings is simply "{url}".
Google SEO should be complaining about that on the plugins page, what if you give a thread the subject "something f", so it turns into something-f, which looks like a forum named something if you use -f postfix for forum URLs?
You can choose any URL style you like - but they must be unique, distinguishable from one another. Lacking that you will end up with broken URLs, and lose the ability to redirect.

Glad you like it.
