It seems like the reason that this is happening is because of the name of your forums. Based on how you described it, their is one for sure fix, and maybe another depending on if one is a category or not. You can add the forumid into the URL, and that will avoid all conflict that way. Your second (that may or may not work depending on if they are both non-category forums) is you can setthe Direct Category Links option to yes.

where ti set direct catagory option to yes?
where i can find this option?

reply please..

In the screen shot you have shown, click the + for advanced settings

i sent you pm of my url.
Can u check and tell me wht shd i do?first option or second option?
and if 2nd where to set Direct Category Links option to yes?

i did as u said in first option..
but nothing changed in url format..
check screenshot..have i done correct?
and even then i tried using other options also but noting changed..
does it take longer to change?

rightnow i've kept forumtitle again..
======
Explain me 2nd alternative also u said..how to do it?

==========
i'm requesting you to check my forum [sent u url via mail] and tell me solution so there wont be confusion here in explaining my problem..

==========

Thanks.

please solve my problem.
i've mailed you my url too.


Update:

i added [forum_title]-[forum_id]/ in forum url [not in forum path as u said] it seems no problem now..
but url are seen with www.xyz.com/forumtitle-fourmid/
is it ok or bad for search engines?
====
Also tell me how to set direct catagory links option to yes?
Please see my url and check whether it is ok or not.
Thanks.

With how your forums are setup, you are going to need to do what you have done by adding the forumid into the URL. The other option would not work in your case. Having the forumid in your URL is ok for search engines.

Ok.
Thanks.

opps.
bug is not solved yet.
and i came to know today after a long..really this is the biggest bug screwing me till now in my life. :(

as you told i had set [forum_title]-[forum_id]/ in forum path and in forum url.

so different forum with same name were getting opened. but 2nd,3rd,4th etc pages of all forums are messing up like previously. like 2nd page of one forum is redirecting to 2nd page of another forum with same name.

e.g. www.domain.com/abc-40 2nd,3rd.. page link www.domain.com/abc/index2/3/4.html

www.domain.com/abc-13 2nd,3rd.. page link www.domain.com/abc/index2/3/4.html

so same link for pages....

for example i'm posting 2 link here
http://www.medicalgeek.com/lecture-notes-201
http://www.medicalgeek.com/lecture-notes-199

so many of my section are mesed up for last 2 months i think due to this..plz do something
open it and click on 2nd 3rd 4th page..you'll be redirected to different sections' subsection 2nd,3rd,4th pages.

You should update "Forum Pagination" URLs format in vBSEO CP as well, change it to:

Code:

[forum_title]-[forum_id]/[forum_page].html
