Hi,
In looking at a couple of the forums from the posters to this thread that have installed this mod I see something that I do not understand and that could be a problem.
In viewing a forum with a list of threads when you hover your curser over the link it does not show the rewritten URL, it shows the old URL. When you click on the URL it goes to the rewritten URL. So won't a search engine first see the old URL and index and follow that one instead of the rewritten URL?
Go ahead and view the source and you will see what I mean, and you will see what the search engines will see, which are the old URL's.
Also I viewed another forum this is installed on and the links were rewritten properly when the cursor is hovered, but when the links were clicked on with the Mozilla browser each link went to a "page not found" which indicates that the pages were not being rewritten properly. This particular forum did work properly in IE however.
I didn't want to publically mention the forums if the Mod author wants me to PM him with the URL's let me know and I will.
