i have same problem with this bug tracking http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=24555 , i just realize this after 4 years installing my forum , its little problem, but if can its should be fixed

When "Display Simple View of Threads" is set to "no", the archive points to the actual threads.

But, if a search engine knows a "simple view" URL, it can still see and download it.

The problem is that these pages remain in the search engine's index.

My suggested solution:
Use a 301 redirect for requests for URLs like this
/archive/index.php/t-123456.html
to
/showthread.php?t=123456

If that isn't possible, at least give a 404.

Cheers

its say its fixed in vb 3.7.0 Beta 5, but its looks like Not fixed in 3.6.x version, i am using 3.6.12 and cant upgrade to higher vb version because some reason

please if anyone have simple hotfix for this little problem, it is needed for all vb 3.6.x users including vbulletin.org forum that still using 3.6.12
