Change forum section name

[lovecraft22]

Hi all;
I would like to change some of my forum sections names, for example here:
intotheapple.com
"Problemi software" would become "Problemi software mac".

The fact is that this would change the url as well and would probably screw the indicization.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Yes, it will change the url.

You can either
1) use a slug to keep the url the same (while re-naming the title)
2) create a redirect like: Renamed Category and forums - redirect - vBulletin SEO Forums to keep the juice passing.

Thanks. How can I create a slug?

1) Rename the forum. note the forum ID and it's current url.
2) go into /vbseocp.php#vbseo_opt , advanced tab. scroll down to the slug section.
3) enter in

 XX => 'forum-url'

where XX is the forum Id and forum-url is the old url that you want to keep prior to the title change.
