    Lightbulb Few things I'd like to suggest !

    1. Larger custom variables text box in URL Rewrite Settings->Forum URL's->Advanced Settings.

    I think that single-line text box should be wider as I always have to scroll through the arrow keys to see the complete setting. I see its set to 34 currently but its too less (even when viewed on a full page). There's a lot of empty space on its right side..so please increase its size, its quite small.

    2. The "vBSEO Sitemap Interface Access Password" should be in some config file and not open in admincp settings.

    3. I feel the need of a guide/manual that describes the BEST settings for "URL rewrite settings". It should list all variables available for EACH setting giving highlight to those that save queries like [user_id] and [forum_id]. This info is not sufficient.

    4. I would like to see a feature where page.php and page.php?do=main can be made to rewrite as /page/ in just 1 CRR. I mean simply a way to ignore url attributes through CRR.

    1. The vbseocp is going to be completely changed in 3.5, not even I have seen it yet .

    2. I do not see that being a big deal because if the user has access to vbulletin options in your admincp, you must trust them quite a bit .

    3. vBSEO comes pretty well optimized out of the box, however, I do agree that the default URL rewrite setting should include all of the ID's for thread, post, group, forum, etc etc.

    4. I doubt that, because what happens when you want the attribute pointing to a different place rather then it being without the attribute.

    3) I suggest my settings file, located in my ultimate guide (link in sig)

    4)
    correct me if i'm wrong, but i think this is already possible using the power of regular expression OR groupings

    Code:
    '^page(.php|.php\?do=XYZ)=' => 'page$1'
    or something like that

    1. thats a good news.. but when
    2. actually I am the only admin and seriously I do not like my password naked in front of my eyes Atleast it should be made masked just like the usual password display.
    3. Ya, but I think I pretty much did it on my site.
    4. okay.. but this thing is required at many places. Won't it reduce the number of CRR's highly if there had been such feature. Does vBSEO achieve this the same way ?

    Thank you

    Please try this:

    '^page\.php(\?do=main)?$' => 'page/'
