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

Very cool! It conflicts with the 'Forum Images on Forumhome' that I have integrated with my Steel series tho.

'/images/forumhome/$forum[forumid].gif' gets .html bunged in there before the .gif.

Yes, I believe this, too but well I just followed the instructions and uploaded the files.

The .htaccess includes the following informations:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)(((-p)([0-9]+))?)([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\.html$ showthread.php?t=$1&page=$5&pp=10 [L]

Once time I uploaded this file I am getting the error message.

Why is this in code mods if it is a plugin?
