Download and extract the installation package into a directory in your local computer.

You only need upload all files in /upload to your vBulletin installation.

3. Go into vBulletin's Admin CP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products.

a). Click on 'Import Product' and select 'overwrite'.
b). Click on the 'Browse' button, and browse to the location where YABBSEO[vB]'s installation package was extracted.

this is something wich i was looking for its working like charm as it wont create any additional Querys on my home page like TFSEO the other SEo hack does which almost kills my SQL server,

Their is one problem tho m facing in this whenever their is a new post in a thread and i visit the static link few times it jus shows blank page and sometime only shows first post of the forum so i guess u can look into this ?

I use totally diffferent methods to do the URL rewriting which may have better performence. And they are lots of options to control url rewriting. For example, you are able to create your onw customised url structure. WHen the full version is available, you will see its more powerful feature:)

Yes, in 99% cases, YABBSEO doesn't need any mysql query on your server. This is our innovative point: vB has done all required queries and thus we only need reuse them.

For new post issue, it seems very strange and I recieved such report before. I will look into it. If you can provide more details on how to reproduce the issue, that would be helpful.

Yes, .htaccess must be enabled and you need edit if you are runing your forum at subdirectory!

Same prob here, also links of users with special characters in their names are shown like
21214-3242342-r-24234.html <- for example.
That doesn't look good, because the title changes also in the "User is viewing werioz30237409 profile"

YABBSEO basically does the same rewrite and sitemap(in full version) things, but as I know, YABBSEO doesn't support pingback for threads and some related features.

You can edit yabbseo/data/config.php to change
'redirect_externalurl' => '1',
to
'redirect_externalurl' => '0',

Then the redir.php need not be uploaded.

Is there a way to get this working with ibproarcade as well?

I have already installed it, got it working. Took a sec, but the error was on my part. I am looking at the php files now to see how to add galleries and ibproarcade. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you need to edit if you are running it in a sub directory called /forum ??

Yes, .htaccess must be enabled and you need edit if you are runing your forum at subdirectory!

This mode i s nice and simple, but when I click on the header, or link for homepage of the forum, it redirects me to my homepage site instead of the forum homepage.

I also get url look like this; /forum/f13-serija-3, but i would like that it looks like this /forum/serija-3.

So how do I fix this?

This mod is BS with special caracters. It just replace special character with this "-", what is not at all SEO, because it breaks words in two peaces. Also I don't like when someone add theirs links in the footer without warning about that. Who do you think you are? Uninstaled and deleted.
