    Thread displays as print version when last keyword is "print"

    I noticed that the following thread is displaying in the print version by default:
    Volconvo Debate Forums - Give me some entertaining things to print out

    The thread title is "Give me some interesting things to print" and as the URL's last keyword is "print", vBSEO interprets this as a print-only version.

    Perhaps this can be dealt with via a referral check, or in future versions have the print URL not be defined by ending in "-print"?

    You can change your URL format for print threads and include the print- in front of the thread id instead of -print at the end, which is default.

    Most people disable rewriting of print thread URLs, and block printthread.php via ROBOTS.TXT so that it doesn't appear to be duplicate content.

    In my upcoming template, printthread.php will NOT exist. Rather, a media="print" style sheet will be applied (which is what vB should have done in the first place....)

    But yes, as Keith suggests, thats the best way to do it
