Upgrading to VB5 from VB3.8.8 with VBSEO/DBSEO for Popular Forum

[rmwebs]

Actually it was this part I was referring to.

It'd be extremely foolish (not to mention a complete lie) to say otherwise really. The aftermath of the handful of sites that have moved to vB5 is enough evidence if nothing else.

If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadid-threadname.html use the following .htaccess

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

If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadname-threadid.html use the following .htaccess

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

Why do you want to upgrade?

.

Because VB3/VB4 is already end of life
We need new features, we need updated editor, we need to fix more bugs, we need new versions and some development in VB4 project
We are seeing other scripts with new releases and new nice features so we hope to get the same in our script which is not possible because we are using a version with no real development from 2.5 years when 4.2 released. on the other hand you/we don't prefer to update to VB5

We are stuck in the middle of bottleneck !
