What does this modification do?
This modification will allow you to automatically have more search engine friendly URLs in your vBulletin. A forum which would normally display as forumdisplay?f=1 will now appear as f1-forumtitle.html and the same with threads. Having keywords in your URL can be of an advantage in search-engine ranking.
Requirements:
You must have mod_rewrite apache module enabled on your server. Contact your host for more information.
This will not work well for non-english boards as it strips most non-alpha numeric characters. E.g. ? would be stripped on french boards etc

If someone can find me any documentation on foreign characters in URI's i'll look into it.
No worries mate, I have the code working in full already for foreign characters. I'll PM you the link to my site so you can see (the site is not yet ready for public release -- but close). I'll get that code to you Dean C.
Paul, pop in the vB.org chat and we can chat there (if I'm around). I don't want to just go changing the character class to (.*) purely for optimization reasons.

This isn't exactly what I'm looking to do. I know how to get it working with foreign characters, I just don't know what the W3C spec is on allowing such characters as ? in URI's

What gave you the impression I'm using (.*)? I don't code that way.
