Simon Lloyd, Do not use such:

Against google translator:
I do not know how it should work for you.
But the translation from English into Russian/Ukranian looks comical. Probably it is good for some school blog, but for a serious site like this is unacceptable.

RichieBoy67, appear here found that the PM can straighten only for "friends". To send a PM, at the bottom of the message, see Additional Options and place the "Send message to users even if they are not on your buddy list" - yes. About you site, contact me with skype.

Thanks again for the reply Igor, that was my attempt at rewriting the showthread links. The translator needs a lot of money to run translation, I don't have that so I pay for the translations as and when I can, you have to pay per character.

How would I do the redirect for showthread?

I have another redirect question. Due to characters a 301 will not work.

Needs to pint to

I tried to do the 301 redirect in the threads directory but not working for this one.

I am doing ok with most of the standard redirects but there are many urls on my site that have characters in the urls that will not work. This is what's killing me most.

I know link weight is lost using rewrite rules but I am still showing 35,000 not found urls and over 4,000 server errors. This after already writing a few hundred 301 redirects.
