[SiteTalkZone]

Hello, i wanted to know how to make .html extensions to the threads in vBulletin?
my settings are -
mod rewrite is on in admin cp
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-(.*)? showthread.php?t=$1.html - in the htaccess file
still not getting .html as extension end of thread link.
Suggestions ?

Its not worth it, It won't make anything better. I'd say, save your time and resources for something else, instead of messing with your current search results.s

So you want to kill your search engine rankings, just to get .html after the .php?

Trying to help... but I have to agree with @Zachery. Maybe a clarification on why you want to go that route. You may have a very good reason for what you are trying to do -- that I have not thought of.

For myself it looks like I would be wasting my time explaining the process, because after you went through the trouble of doing it, you would soon revert back.

Write tons of custom code to handle it, inside of the vBulletin software, then update your htaccess files for their mod rewrite rules.
