    The page isn't redirecting properly

    I have had vbseo installed for about a month. But I didn't rewrite URLs until yesterday.

    Now, I have post that was written after I activated the default settings for URL rewriting that I can't reach. I get this error:

    The page isn't redirecting properly:
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
    Here is the URL:

    http://www.tdpri.com/forum/forum-pro...tml#post529826


    I checked it in MS IE and it doesn't work for that browser either.

    How can I fix this?

    PS. Here's some more info and probably the reason: the title of the post has a / in it.
    Here is the post title: link takes me to thread top vs. end / new post

    Hello,

    this happens because the thread title ends with "new post", so resulting URL is the same as "goto newpost thread URL format". You should either simply change the thread title or switch URL format, for instance moving the thread id to the end:
    [forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id].html
    [forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]-new-post.html

    Because the words "new post" are at the end of the thread title that is the problem? Oh, I see the words "new post" and "last post" become problematic for the system if a thread title ends in those two words.

    Yes, this must be a problem in this case. You can change the URL formats if you want to avoid this in the future.
