Not sure of your exact vBSEO URL but your rule should be (based on above)

RewriteRule ^forum/boat-talk/$  /forum/forumdisplay.php?f=201 [L,R=301]

There should be no initial "/" in your left hand mod_rewrite rule. An initial "/" will not match, because the rewrite base is already "/" ...

Cheers.

Does anyone have a real answer that is helpful to fixing this type of url to redirect?
trying to redirect urls.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/f([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)-([0-9]+)/index([0-9]+)(.*)$ http://musclemecca.com/threads/$3-$2

This works automatically redirect all such references.
I do not understand what you refer to the characters ***
and
Capital letters, no redirects do not get, but to write a php script that will read from the table mysql.

After removing the vbSEO need to find all the links from other sites to your site in order pagerank

This is why people should NOT be removing vBSEO just yet... until you have a backup solution ready. otherwise you are killing off all your pages and google hits.

Everyone assume uninstalling vbseo is the answer... it is not!

The real answer is to use it till we can create something that will port ALL of the vBSEO urls properly and accordingly. That way there is NO loss of links and it will be as if nothing on your forum was changed.

FreshFroot For a week I created a .htaccess
a plurality of rows (~ 60) and only then deleted vbseo
Within 2 weeks of attendance has decreased by 10%
after that, all recovered and went attendance growth

When Vbseo went down many people were having issues with license checks that were causing errors. I am sure this is why so many uninstalled it.

Anyone figure out a rewrite for images. Any images on the forum now got to a different URL can you rewrite these so anywhere externally that links to them will update?

Those characters were posted by the member in the thread title. This keeps screwing up my rewrite rules.

Hi guys i've decided to uninstall VBSEO and need some help with my rewrite rules, my forum titles with vbseo looked like this:
http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/networking-peripherals/
and my threads looked like this:
http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/microsoft-excel-forum/214560-data-validation-calculated-column.html
and single post was:
http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/112701-post3.html

Could someone help me out with the rewrite rules as the ones i have just aren't working!

Im guessing all i need to rewrite is what comes after forumz/ ???

--------------- Added [DATE]1392410106[/DATE] at [TIME]1392410106[/TIME] ---------------

Here's one section:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.thecodecage\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^forumz/microsoft-excel-forum/$ [noparse]http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/forumdisplay.php?f=64 [R=301,NE,NC,L]
But the old vbseo link doesn't redirect to the new forumdisplay.php link?

Put this file to /forumz/ folder

.htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RedirectMatch 301 ^/([A-Za-z-]+)/([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9-]+)\.html$ http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/$2.html

I appreciate your help, the last redirect you gave is that a one size fits all approach? I don't understand how that will redirect links to the correct areas?
