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

This plugin is working like a charm on our board, but the only problem i'm having with it is that it breaks up pages after 10 posts.
Anybody else experienced this or know how to fix it? I tried to double the post #s from inside the admin, to see if it would just even it out but no matter how many posts I set it to display before splitting the page, it keeps showing only 10 posts inside a thread and then splits the page.
The perpage setting is hardcoded in the .htaccess file. This cannot be avoided unfortunately due to the way vB outputs its pagenav URLs, so if you want to change it find where it says pp=10 in the .htaccess file and change the 10 to the value you want

I'm not going to set it up to allow foreign characters yet until I see documentation on how foreign characters are allowed in URLs.
But I do not think that url needs foreign chracters. At least in my language we have same letters as english, but we use additional punctuation marks to differ some letters from each other (latin2),
than I only need to translate for url rewrite this letters into normal letter without punctuation symbol. For example ?=a ?=i ?=e

pls .-)
Well that is something different But what use is it having an english character set in your URLs when your site is foreign? Your search engine users will be searching in google, yahoo or msn etc using foreign characters and your URLs will not have these characters so the benefit is lost.
