Removing VBSEO

[RichieBoy67]

The redirects you use depend on what urls you selected with vbseo and which Vbulletin urls you want to use.

Thanks so much for this, got me out of a hole!

Is there a still a need to get the search engines to re-index the site?

Can anyone shed any light on why vbSEO suddenly causes a "too many redirects" browser problem after years of running smoothly (even after the company who made vbSEO shut down)?

UPDATE: I spoke too soon! The site comes up okay, but clicking on any forum or thread link just reloads the home page.

All I have done is modified the .htaccess file in my /forums/ folder

I am unable to access the vbSEO control panel - when I click on it in admincp, it just loads my site home page!
