This is what I have in my .htaccess now:

RewriteRule ^/forum/boat-talk/$ http://www.mydomain.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=201 [L,R=301]

ok, add the full url to the front, the karet should of caught the frontend url.

Still didn't work, this is the error that I got:

404 - Document Not Found

The requested object or URL, /forum/boat-talk/ was not found on this server.

Here is my .htaccess:

RewriteRule http://www.mydoamin.com/forum/boat-talk/$ http://www.mydomain.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=201 [L,R=301]

sorry, as i obviously cant test it, not much more i can suggest.

Bummer, thanks for trying to help.


If I PM you the url and such, would that be of any benefit?

Having your url doesnt help, as i still cant test.

What if I email you the .htaccess file, you can make changes and I'll place it back on the server to see if it works?

VBseo has not up for days if not longer.. Was showing a database error but now nothing.

Seems like Vbseo no longer exists. Because of thier site no longer existing I cannot even access any info. In addition it caused my site to not function correctly so I removed it. Now I am stuck

Old ones were like this

New ones are this

Does anyone have a real answer that is helpful to fixing this type of url to redirect?
trying to redirect urls.

I do have the backup for my Vbseo settings in case that helps. I know someone would be able to help at Vbseo but that is no longer there.

Google Cache still works fine, no styling on the pages but all the info is still there for a bit longer. I recommend you use google cache then also use your browser to save the page to your pc i.e. in Firefox it's "Save Page As" for easy future reference ;).

Thanks,
I already used the wayback machine to find info from Vbseo but I cannoit find my combination and it ofcourse it says to contact support if your url is not listed..
