I've been trying to get it to work with vbseo. We need to have ?p=<thread id> appended to the specific URLs where that is needed.

Some of the links can be fixed in the VBSEO control panel. For example for "'Go To Post in Thread' Redirect" use a custom setting as follows:

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title].html?p=[post_id]

Since this modified url will not be in your sitemap I don't know if it will matter so much for SEO. But if it does, you can add a no-follow to this. It is possible that these are already no-followed by VBSEO.

Also make custom rule for "'Go To Post in Thread' Pagination Redirect":

[forum_title]/[thread_id]-[thread_title]-post[post_id]-[thread_page].html?p=[post_id]

Still we need to add the ?p=<post ID> to some other URLS:

'Newest Post in Thread' Redirect

'Last Post in Thread' Redirect


Neither of these are supporting the [post_id] variable in the VBSEO config rule. I am sure we just need to change a single line of code in vbseo for it to reference the [post_id] variable, but unfortunately I don't know enough to solve it, so I gave up here.
