Uninstalled VBSEO, need rewrite help

[Joey805]

I just uninstalled VBSEO and need some help with rewrite rules in .htaccess getting my old indexed url's to redirect to the standard vb urls.

I got my threads to redirect using the following:

RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html http://www.mydomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]


However I cannot seem to get my forumdisplay.php to redirect. I have a bunch of dead links on google that I would like to get fixed. My old url vbseo url looks like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/boat-talk/

My new URL for that forum looks like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=175

I understand that I probably have to do a rewrite for each forum which is ok, but I need help with the syntax of the rule.

I've asked for help at VBSEO but got no answer. That product is now dead.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

See this thread here: http://www.vbseo.com/f77/after-unins...-forums-53459/

There is also a blog here: http://www.vbseo.com/blogs/mert-goek...all-vbseo-238/

We can't provide support for vBSEO switches though.

Those arent useful in his case as he dont have forum id's in his url's.

This should work as was the case when i posted in your thread at the org.

RewriteRule ^boat-talk/$ forumdisplay.php?f=$201 [L,R=301]

or

RewriteRule ^/boat-talk/$ forumdisplay.php?f=$201 [L,R=301]
