Default URL's may cause headaches

By default, there may be some problems with some of the URL's. For example, if I have a thread titled "how do i print", vBSEO will create "1203-how-do-i-print.html". The -print will confuse vBSEO when viewing, and redirect to the print page.

This is also the case for the other URL's, like a thread named "how do i view the last post" or such -- but these will be less common.

So I think there should be a check that the URL is actually what it seems to be. In the case of the print example, the correct print URL would be -print-print.html.

Yes, a thread ending in "new post' is the same way.

For Print Thread, I use this format:

[forum_title]/print-[thread_id]-[thread_title].html

And oops, wrong forum

I don't use them. I consider it dupe content.

Rewrite Printthread URLs?
Set this option to "Yes" to have print version (printthread.php) of URLs rewritten.
Yes No

and my robots.txt disallows printthread.php

I second that

I'd also like to make the point then when my skin is complete, it will have a css print stylesheet, making for printer firendly pages right from the main thread, rendering print thread useless, and duplicate. i'd once again suggest turning it off.
if you want to get ahead of me, make your own print sheet and include it in the header

<style type="text/css" media="print">

after the main style sheet.
hide stuff you don't want printed, re-arrange stuff, and so on.

but it will be much easier when all these useless tables are gone

.... coming soon :P
