How easy (or difficult!) would it be to change 'showthread' in the url?

[Razasharp]

Just wondering if it is possible to alter vB to use different words for 'showthread' and 'forumdisplay' in the urls? With or without using mod rewrite?

You could do a replacement variable, use modrewrite, or edit every template and file that references showthread.

I think mod_rewrite would be the easiest solution :)

Thanks Merk... any pointers on where to start using mod rewrite?

would it be a simple:

if 'showthread' switch to 'mythreadname' kindof-thing? or is it more involved?

[merk]

Just a basic internal rewrite of the filename, yes. (i dont know how to use modrewrite very well so i cant give you the rule :()
