    2 forums with the same name...

    Hey guys, I´ve to forums in different categories with the same name. When I activate vbseo, the 2 forums redirect to one of them. Should I change their names? Or there´s another form to keep the two forums with the same name?

    We also have slugs for forum names. With slugs you can define how you want the forum name to appear in your URL.

    For instance, a forum called "xyz sample forum" could be made appear in the URL as "/the-xyz-forum/" instead of the default "/xyz-sample-forum/".

    So, in this way it can be used to avoid conflicts with the duplicate forum name.
