Is that right?

If yes, why in God's name did you first put the site in a directory called forum? Just put the whole VB files under your public_html folder and so www.site.com/ will have all your pages.

And if your www.site.com/forums/ pages are indexed in the serps then basically you have to make a choice whether you want your VBulletin webiste as www.site.com/ or www.site.com/forums. You can't have it both ways.

yes, you are right!!

But the forums have been installed in a subfolder for several years and it will be hard work to move it all to /root

and I will lose a lot of traffic/ inbound links possibly, unless I can use htaccess to redirect all requests from /forum/xxxyyy

to /xxxyyyy which should be possible.

but my question was related to the simpler task of using htaccess to try and prevent some of VBs dupe content! Im guessing you dont know the answer to my question :erm:
