Seriously I really need help with this.
This is destroying my SEO.
I've been trying to write my own htaccess to get this to work but I can't.
What are everyone's settings for archive page navigation and all other options for archives?
Please!!

I'll even take a way to disable rewrites on the archive!

Has anyone tried with vb3.6.8?

1. Don't use mod_rewrite. You don't need it. It puts an extra load on your server and provides no SEO benefits whatsoever.

2. Don't use the archive as a sitemap. Set it so that the links in the archive lead back to the original posts.

3. It works fine on 3.6.8.

Thanks for the info.

I keep getting the infamous ---> "No input file specified"

I read a few posts that say Godaddy is the problem, is there a solution to this?

I have a problem that when I try to log in at the index, it doesn't recogise it although when i click on a link to another area, It does. This must be a problem with this tool or vBulletin 3.6.8. Also, the archive doesn't work: http://www.webtutorialz.com/forum/archive/index.php.

I need to use mod_rewrite for SEO don't I?

How can I set it so that the links lead back to the original posts? Will this fix the archive links not working? :S

vBulletin 3.6.8 (patch 2)
Zoints SEO 2.2.2

It sounds like others are having the same problem as me:
1) Cannot get rid of index.php with or without mod_rewrite
2) Archive/sitemap gives "No input file specified" if you just hit /archive/ or /sitemap/
3) If you go to /archive/index.php or /sitemap/index.php you get the main forum list, but the links just regenerate the same page.

Anyone making progress on this?

I'd love to help fix it, but I just installed everything and have never seen it working properly. Not sure where/when the problem was introduced.

Having trouble on this one a little, i had it installed before worked fine

but i reinstalled my forum and cleaned the sql out a bit and not im getting an error, which is attached...

this mod doesn't created XML page for google sitemap??

No it doesn't.
