what is the best way to link the forum and the archive in order to get best results in the SEs?

Just make sure the archive is linked from the main pages of your site. I would recommend putting the link on the bottom of all your main forum pages. Look at http://www.battleforums.com for an example of this. At the bottom of all the forums pages, there is a "History" link, that links to the archive.

which template i have to edit in order to put this link on the bottom of all pages?

footer?

Anyone know why after I installed the script, it works fine, but for the top and bottom of the archive pages I get this error:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/aimforum/public_html/archive/index.php on line 103

Thanks,

Mod_mime - You will NEED mod_mime to run these scripts. Mod_mime is a free module which enables a directive called "ForceType". This allows you to use the .htaccess file included to force your files into php mode, which allows simple URL's, without .php in them. If you can see the front page of your archive, but get an error page when you click on any links then this is your problem. To fix it, you will need to install mod_mime, or ask your host to do it. It's a FREE module. For more information, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html

For some reason my page numbers aren't working in the topics. .. i.e. : http://cellphoneforums.net/archive/topic/8289.html (I moved the page number to the bottom)

Installed!

Thank you!!!
