My vBSEO-Rewrite Rules:

Thread: [thread_title]-t[thread_id].html
Thread Pagination: [thread_title]-t[thread_id]-[thread_page].html

I attached my complete rewrite Settings

Any help is much appreciated

For Threads

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteRule [^/]+-t([0-9]+)\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]

I've never worried about links to forums and especially forum pagination, who links to a specific page of a specific forum? The content is always changing.

Specific forums I might understand on a site with hundreds of forums but realistically it will have negligible impact on SEO. Threads will out number forums by (hopefully) thousands or hundreds of thousands to one.

For thread pagination I'd need to see a specific example of the old style URL.
