Major Additions - TfSEO 2: the free vBulletin url rewrite

TfSEO 2.1

TfSEO is a powerful and free url rewrite for the vBulletin system: it rewrite forum, thread and post urls.
For me it's very hard to explain well all the feature of this plugin, soo the best way is test it.

How much does it weight on the server?

I have tested on my home server:

TfSEO enabled, heavy:

while also redirecting my old URLs to the new ones?

Basically, my forum is top of google for some very competitive terms, but the URLS are not really that descriptive. Just numbers like /forum3.html

and so on.

The rewrite rules are modified slightly from an htaccess that was on some forums a couple of years ago...and its worked relatively well.

Except I cant merge threads at present....

Any suggestions? I NEED to do this upgrade but does anyone know how I can 301 my old URLs to the new style ones?

I know it 301s the stock URLs but how can I get it to 301 my current URLS basically without breaking anything>?!!!!
thanks

Your work is easy: tfseo intagrate a powerfull 301 redirect, that copy the htacecss of tfseo over your rules. You shulden't get problem, but try first in local.

Nice job, Superjeff! What would you charge to install this on my forums?

Thanks!

1. What is the difference between 1.1.4 and 2.0.5?

2. I could not get 2.0.5 to actually do anything for the site (no rewrite).

3. I uninstalled 2 and installed 1.1.4 then I went into a redirect loop and can't find anything about the error here in my search.
