    'Showpost' URL Format

    I wanted to use the custom String p-[post_id].html for showpost URL's but once I make this change in vbseocp and then try to follow a link to an individual post I receive the error message:
    Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?

    An example of a showpost URL on my forum is:
    http://www.salespractice.com/forums/p-14353-1-post.html



    However, I wanted to use the custom String p-[post_id].html for showpost URL's but once I make this change in vbseocp and then try to follow a link to an individual post I receive the error message:
    Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?

    I see that you also modified other URL formats, please post your url formats (exported xml file from vbseocp).

    You have showpost URL format conflicting with Poll URL format:
    Code:
    p-[post_id].html
    p-[poll_id].html
    you should change one of them, like
    poll-[poll_id].html
    or
    post-[post_id].html
