    Redirect forum links to real forum links

    I am having a problem where it shows links like "http://www.go-audi.com/f38/" I do not use any forum names like that. The set up with the forums is different on my site. How can I forward those links to the real URLs, is there an option for this?

    Changing URL structure is not suggested . Once you change your structure , all your indexed urls will loose their rankings.

    Yep, I would just need to redirect the URLs google has in the index to the actual URLs.

    Hello Hendrik,

    You can try using these rules in your .htaccess file, right after "RewriteEngine On":

    RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)/index([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)/$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1 [L]

    The first one is a rule to redirect pagination forum URLs, and the second one does redirect common forum URLs with no pagination.

    Please let us know if that is what you were looking for.
