    same thread name get converted

    Well I just noticed that some of my forums were all pointing to one forum because of how the software rewrites the urls.

    for example I had some forum titles called

    forum 1
    xyz
    aaa
    bbb
    ccc

    forum 2
    xyz
    ddd
    eee
    fff

    as an example


    So when someone clicked on xyz it would go to forum 1 even if they clicked on it for forum 2.

    I think this needs to be fixed somehow.

    As i then had to manually changed all the forum names so they were slightly different.

    Hello Matt,

    since you have the same resulting URLs, when you enter the second subforum, vBulletin "thinks" you open the first one.

    Solution
    There are two ways to resolve this:

    -----------------
    1. a simpler one - to rename one of the subforums

    -----------------
    2. open vbseocp and change all URL formats in this way:
    replace [forum_title] with [forum_path] in URL formats
    then open config_vbseo.php file, find:
    define('VBSEO_GET_FORUM_PATH', 0);
    and REPLACE WITH:
    define('VBSEO_GET_FORUM_PATH', 1);
    after that your URLs will change to:
    http://www.example.com/category1/subforum/
    and
    http://www.example.com/category2/subforum/
    correspondingly.
