Thanks

I've used this code to exclude folders from other rewrites with other programs, not sure if it will work in your case but why not try?

RewriteRule ^folder(.*)$ - [L]

replace *folder* with the name of the folder you want to exlude.

If you have more then 1 folder you must enter this code for each folder.

Be sure to place the code about in the middle of your htaccess.

Hope it works for you!

And this comment really bugs me as I am a seasoned seo for a few years,

"pleased do not install this hack unless you are well educated when it comes to SEO"

this is laughable!

EVEN IF YOU DO NOTHING, NO SEO MOD, your pages will get indexed by the top 3 search engines no matter if you use VB, SMF, or even PHPBB, with those funky crazy urls that every one says se's don't like

It requires absolutely NOT one ounce of SEO smarts to install a program to create "SE Friendly" URLS! In fact there are many blog plugins (FOR FREE) THAT DOES THAT!

I think it's a pitty that the top Forum scripts, VB included, DOES NOT COME with better SE Frindly urls out of box for free. I know that WOWBB does ($80) and accomplishes all this with a click of a button, unfortunately it lacks many other more important features. The point I'm trying to make is that all this should come with our forums, in the case with VB where we had to pay $150 for it is totally outrageous for us to have to pay another $150 for decent se friendly urls (seovb), or have to deal with a buggy unsupported freebie.

I appreciate Zoints SEO's effort, but they use vbseo and offer little in way of support. And to make a comment like you need some sort of seo experience to achieve this is well, ill advised.

I only hope either this seo plug in becomes ready for prime time *with* support, or VB wakes up and offers it's own because SMF is right on their heals for feature for feature, and they are 100% free! I use both so I am totally unbiased and simply call it as I see it
