Their isn't any chance that this will work with 3.0 with some modifications would it? I know they have one for vb 3.0 from vbseo.com, but its like $150 bucks.

It is probably possible to integrate it into lower versions, but I would assume this version wouldent work. It may have to be rewritten for lower versions. But I dont think DC will have time for it.

DC, I dont have permissions to post in the beta forum.

Are you logged in? I just checked the permissions and you should be able to post a thread there

Signed up, downloaded, will start poking around!

Just a question for the new version... If you have the showthread?=x versio indexed in google, will redirect get rid of the showthread indexing?? Because i dont like when i have the rewritten one and the showthread one both indexed. It drains the PR. This is the reason alot of people want you to rewrite the simialar and last post rewriten.

another problem I couldnt work out was the redirect after a user posts. it uses the old style formatting.

Wouldn't it behoove one to just use robots.txt to bar them from member.php (which is what the search string is to display last post on a thread, right?) and whatever it is that brings up similar threads (I don't use them, prefer to keep server load to a minimum and queries as low as possible, even though it's not necessary for me.) I block search.php, memberlist.php, member.php, profile.php, and nearly everything else that I could come up with that didn't directly involve either a thread or the forum listing itself... Why dilute at all?

That's only referencing the similar and last post comments - the redirect comment is a very valid point though.

Don't worry about that. Like I have said on several occasions, this modification is not aimed at your users, but at the search engines :) Hence, a search engine never posts, so they won't have that URL.
