Because I have my forum index set to /forum.php and it was adding <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com" /> to forum.php which is not what I wanted!

Is that ok?

EDIT:
And also, if a post is on page=2 or page=3, etc - Shouldn't the showpost.php?p= have the canonical URL of showthread.php?t=555&page=2 instead of just showthread.php?t=555 ? Or is that not a big deal?

Yes, the first edit is fine, as the index page usually isn't the root of duplicate content evils.

Even changing it to

<link rel="canonical" href="$vboptions[bburl]/forum.php" />

Should work, or simply inserting your entire forum URL in there

Yes it should add the &page to it.

I thought I had multipage support enabled on it, but apparently not. I apologize for that as I only have a test forum that doesn't have any multi page threads but I guess i'll have to create one now.

Edit: I just downloaded the version attached and installed it on a test site and its adding the page numbers okay.
