Huh? So what's wrong w/ my forum? Is it OK to run like that?!
/ in Google SEO URLs is not supported nor recommended. I advise against it, as it causes problems.
I also tried using

# Google SEO URL Forums:
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)\.html$ forumdisplay.php?google_seo_forum=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

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

# Google SEO URL Users:
RewriteRule ^user-([^./]+)\.html$ member.php?action=profile&google_seo_user=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

But when I go to http://electrojams.com/forum/thread-live...bstep.html for example I get "Invalid forum" help!
This is because your URL schemes conflict with each other. With your scheme, *.html is a forum, so thread-live-indian-dubstep.html is a forum called thread live indian dubstep.

You could work around this by putting the Forum rewrite rule last, but it will still cause *.html to be interpreted as a forum name, so you can't put any html files in your forum directory then. You also can't name a forum thread- or user- (etc.) since that won't be interpreted as a forum name, but as a thread or username instead then.

It's best to avoid conflicts by giving each type of URL something that makes it unique, and the default settings do that by giving each type of URL a prefix Forum- Thread- User- etc.

This is a limitation to how Google SEO handles URLs at the moment.
When will this be updated?
In regards to URL handling, not anytime soon.
That is a letdown, as Wordpress, the most successful blogging software out there, uses the / URL format...
Wordpress is designed to have these kinds of URLs... Google SEO has to work with what MyBB offers, and MyBB is not designed to handle /. MyBB does not even know how to add parameters to a URL correctly. As long as Google SEO is a plugin, there will always be shortcomings somewhere.
hey and you habe contamplate the / support??? example forum.com/category/subforum/t{tid}-blah-blah-.html
frostschutz I hope these is an easy fix but after MyBB upgrade Google seo's 404 is working weird
