I use totally diffferent methods to do the URL rewriting which may have better performence. And they are lots of options to control url rewriting. For example, you are able to create your onw customised url structure. WHen the full version is available, you will see its more powerful feature

Their is one problem tho m facing in this whenever their is a new post in a thread and i visit the static link few times it jus shows blank page and sometime only shows first post of the forum so i guess u can look into this ?

Yes, in 99% cases, YABBSEO doesn't need any mysql query on your server. This is our innovative point: vB has done all required queries and thus we only need reuse them.

For new post issue, it seems very strange and I recieved such report before. I will look into it. If you can provide more details on how to reproduce the issue, that would be helpful.

Nice Mod

Yes, .htaccess must be enabled and you need edit if you are runing your forum at subdirectory!

Same prob here, also links of users with special characters in their names are shown like
21214-3242342-r-24234.html <- for example.
That doesn't look good, because the title changes also in the "User is viewing werioz30237409 profile"

I'm considering getting vbSEO...is YabSEO going to do similar things (full version or lite)?

YABBSEO basically does the same rewrite and sitemap(in full version) things, but as I know, YABBSEO doesn't support pingback for threads and some related features.

i have already file redir.php on root drictory
what can i do ?
can i upload upload_lite folder on root as it is ?
sorry for bad english

[yabsoft]

You can edit yabbseo/data/config.php to change

PHP Code:

'redirect_externalurl' => '1', 


to

PHP Code:

'redirect_externalurl' => '0', 


Then the redir.php need not be uploaded.
