What you are looking for are human friendly URLs. This can be achieved using the many SEO modifications out there, such as vBSEO.

Warning: If you are currently using the .php version of vBulletin, then you should never at a later stage download the package with the .html extension and overwrite your files. This will not work and render your board unaccessible.

The version with .html extension is downloadable for every member, but should only be used on servers where the configuration does not allow .php.

hmm sorry but what would the difference be? i thought the HTML in a .php file was rendered the same as the HTML in a .html file.

Templates have the extension hard coded into them, as well as many modifications. Your board will not work if you change this after installation.

There is no raw HTML in any of vBulletin's PHP files. All the HTML is inside templates in the database and are displayed on request.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
