Hello ppl,

First of all thx for the great forum and for the great mods.

2'nd i have a small problem with Google SEO, it is working fine out of the box but i want to alter the url so i can get the following url sequence: category/forum/thread and i can't. I get a 404 page every time.

Can anyone help me with this ?!

The htaccess looks like this:
# Google SEO URL Forums:
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)$ forumdisplay.php?google_seo_forum=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

# Google SEO URL Threads:
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)$ showthread.php?google_seo_thread=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

It's really good for SEO to do this, as the category may be important.

Example: somebody is looking for a review on a kia cerato and will get this

http://example.com/forums/kia/cerato-review
Please read the documentation regarding directory structure.

For most threads, the category is irrelevant.

Take this thread for example, "MyBB-Community-Forums/Resources/Plugins-Code-Modifications/Support/Google-seo-URL-not-fully-working" is quite a whole lot longer but not at all more informative than "Thread-Google-seo-URL-not-fully-working".
i know what u mean, but my website's structure is example.com/category/thread so... it woun't be that long.
