About vbSEO.
It works with vbSEO 3.2 and VBulletin 3.7.1 I have now and I am sure that 3.8.x will work too if you DONT use forum titles in URL Rewrite rules.
The problem with vbSEO is - if you like to have the "forum titles" in URL, then you have problem, as of Marco's mod changes for each langage that variable that vbSEO uses during generation of the static-rewritten URL. You have in each langage new forum title and vbSeo is not able to remaster it.
For example:
Say you have forum named "Travel"
www.blabla.com with id 74.
Then URL to that -
www.blabla.com/forumdisplay.php?id=34 rewritten with VBSEO to
www.blabla.com/Travel if your interface is in Englisch.
But as soon as you change to say French, this mode changes the Title of forum to "Voyage" and vbSeo trying to generate URL
www.blabla.com/Voyage and is not able to pass corresponding real url to vbulletin as
www.blabla.com/forumdisplay.php?id=34
Just for my case I escaped using Forum Title in URL rewrite rules and have
www.blabla.com/forum[forumid]/
For Marco's mode one need to find a way to pass vbSEO only say forum titles of one langage, or write a rewrite rules in vbSeo for all languages - but this will mean double content as of URLs for search engines, will look like different, but content is same - this could bring penalties form searchmonsters like Google....
