    Add the forumid into the rewrite settings. That is the only way since they are all the same names.

    In your vBSEOCP, find: Forum URLs

    Then hit the + arrow to expand settings. Find: Forum URLs and add the [forum_id] variable in their as well.

    Replied your ticket

    There are 3 possible solutions for the problem you face.
    1. You need to rename some forum names so they will all have unique names.
    2. You need to use vBSEO Slugs
    3. You need to add forumid to forum url rewrite rule.

    i picked Custom and added this in there

    Code:
    f[forum_id] f[forum_title]
    or should i just select [forum_id]?

    again, putting the ID number in is the best way to ensure no duplicates
