    You could also hide the print thread option from guests and block the .printthread.php in your robots.txt

    Hello Bill,

    There's a setting inside vBSEO CP that allows you to stop vBSEO from rewriting printthread URLs. You can find it at:

    vBSEO CP -> URL Rewrite Settings -> Forum URLs -> 'Advanced Settings' tab -> Rewrite Printthread URLs?

    Set it to no.

    Then add:

    Disallow: printthread.php

    to your robots.txt (how to make a good one )
