I've been trying to figure this out for months, racking my brain and nearing the thoughts of killing myself (just kidding, right there). Anyways, I've almost gotten GoogleSEO working, when I click on my forum links and all that, the URL seems to be right, but, then, a 404 error shows. What I mean is that my links are displaying correctly the GoogleSEO url's (/forum/thread-title-here, etc.), but then a stupid 404 comes up! If it helps any, my webhost is x10hosting.com. I know my functions.php is correct, because my links weren't appearing as (forum/thread-title-here) until I added GoogleSEO's pre-made functions.php.
I sm using MyBB 1.6.3 and this is my .htaccess in my (public_html/) directory (my forum is located at public_html/forum/ though)

# EXAMPLE .htaccess FOR MYBB WITH GOOGLE SEO URL
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file is identical to MyBB's htaccess.txt example file,
# with rewrite rules for a standard Google SEO install added.
#
# Before using this file please make sure to:
#
# - replace /MyBB/ with your forum folder, e.g. / or /forum/
# - replace yoursite/MyBB with your forum URL
# - name the file '.htaccess' (starting with the dot, no .txt)
#
# Alternatively you can add the required rewrite rules to your
# existing .htaccess, the specific rules required will be displayed
# on the plugin status page once Google SEO URL is enabled.
