IMO there is no need for a mod_rewrite hack. All of my forums get spidered fine as do vbulletin.com forums (4,120,000 pages indexed in google 337,000 in yahoo) and this forum (350,000 pages indexed in google 1,340,000 in yahoo) -- all without using a mod rewrite.

I have to agree with joey. take it or leave it....but I actually have worked in the SEO biz for years. And In my experienc, something like this MAYYYY help.. but that's no guarantee and certainly gunna get stressed wondering if its working or updating right etc.
imo, people would be better off just concentrating on developing your forum content or improving the expericne for your membres to promote more posting from them.......
the vbarchive archives, an in place robot.txt file, and just good old fashioned solid content should be more than enough for most and will almost always work out better for you in the end anyway.
all that an no stress about a hack update or errors.

I seem to have this problem when I try to view new posts, it shows the .htm file rather than the php file, and my members have to refresh in order to see the new posts. Could this be fixed please?
Spiders are unpredictable. I have at least 10 yahoo slurps on my site daily. Once a month, I have roughly 150+ on the site at one time.
I am just wondering wheter this new "translation" of link will cause any demage to old links that are already used throughout all posts to navigate others.
