    And yes, you can simply import the settings file (make a back up of yours first!!!). Be sure to re-save your key and enter your analytics code, and any thing else custom you may have added such as re-write rules or relevant replacements.
    You can add analytics code in vBSEO? I never knew this...been using styles & templates to do that!

    How could we 301 redirect forumdisplay? I want no broken links or pages, that would hurt SERPs.

    It's in the 'Log & Tracking Options' section of your control panel.

    You can find the code in your analytics code, it's in the form UA-1234567-1.

    Does google get the 301s to the rewritten URLs, when one disallow *.php in robots.txt?

    In other words: Does robots.txt apply to new and indexed URLs, or only to new (just found on page by crawling) URLs?

    (BTW: Imho blank lines are not allowed in robots.txt, except before "user agent"...)

    blocking via robots.txt will keep the bots off the old .php pages, be it in it's index already or linked via an old site. If you're pages indexed in google have 90%or more moved to the new urls, it's safe to use the *.php rule (again, provided everything you want indexed is re-written)

    Blank lines are not an issue.

    But then the new URLs don't inherit the PR of the old URLs, because Google doesn't crawl the old PHPs anymore and doesn't get the 301? Wouldn't it be better, if I add *.php and *.html not until all old URLs are indexed with their new URL?

    One question, I have a fair few showposts indexed and have now disabled it as per your recommendations but should I still submit showposts in the generator to get google to remove these old showposts quicker or will it make no difference?

    Don't worry about page rank... it does nothing and means nothing.

    no, do not submit showpost urls in the sitemap.

    If you use Brian's suggestions, your posts, and threads will not end in .html.

    the #postid is the permalink when using "go to new post" or "last post". the normal threads will simply be /t640/

    Ok thanks Brian but there is a way to have not it at the end?

    i have tried to use this in Last Post in Thread' Redirect

    [forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]-last/

    and this in Newest Post in Thread' Redirect

    [forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]-new/

    It's correct for to have forum_title/thread_title-id showed in the urls?

    "#" parts don't get spidered by the engines. So having a #324324 at the end, won't generate any double content or anything. No need to change this.
