Hey guys,
Sorry if I'm re-posting here but I couldn't find anything on the forums that had this same problem. Everything I looked at was people who had installed MyBB incorrectly and there actual URL was wrong.
What I want to do is change the URL paths to human readable paths. For example,
http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Ubuntu-...0#pid27580
VS
http://refugeeks.com/forum/showthread.ph...pid=2#pid2
I basically want the thread title in the URL. I hope I've explained this clearly enough. It's probably just a drop menu somewhere in the admin console but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks guys,
Kev
Sorry Mark, you're going to have to elaborate on that a little for me. I'm very new to MyBB. I understand what Google SEO is but I'm still getting to grips with everything MyBB at the moment (sorry for being a noob).

This is not what he's asking to change, re-read his request if you didn't understand it.
The correct information was provided to him already.
Mark,
I did the SEO changes and now the URL are updated but every single link on my site is broken!!! I've tried to revert the change but it doesn't make a difference.
Any ideas as currently my forum is completely down and I've just launched it...massive problem!!!
I've not used the plugin myself but from what I've read it updates each link as it is viewed so may take a while to change them all.
Do you have a link to your site?
If you want to go back..
Quote:Redirecting SEO URLs back to MyBB stock URLs
Google SEO does not force you to keep using its URLs. If you want to go back to stock URLs, you can do so. Basically you have two options to achieve a SEO URL -> Stock URL redirection:
Empty the SEO URL scheme for a particular URL type
This is useful if for example you want to go back to stock URLs for user profiles only, but not for forums and threads.
Revert changes to core files
This way the Google SEO URL module will be in inactive state.
Do not disable Google SEO URL or Redirect, and do not remove the Rewrite Rules from your .htaccess. All of these components are required to keep old keyword URLs and subsequent redirect working.

Sounds like your rewrite rules don't work.
The plugin displays a status on the plugins page... what does it say?
