Trying to use Slugs to Rename a Forum - Problems :(

Heya, I had a problem with my VBseo setup as I had v3arcade installed which uses /games and also a forum called Games. As you can tell, they both wanted to use /games

I thought I cured it by just renaming the games folder v3arcade used and setting it in the admin panel, but it turns out some games in it have to be in the folder /games or they break (yeti sports etc)

So I came to this forum and got told to use "slugs" which seemed to have worked! I changed forum 22 to use the slug "games-downloads"

Code:
    $vbseo_forum_slugs = array(
    22=>'games-downloads'
    );
It seemed to have worked! But as soon as I put the folder /games in my vbulletin root it breaks again :( When going to /games-downloads I am sent to a blank page.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make the url rename perment so I can use the Games folder and have a forum named Games which the URL /games-downloads?

Cheers

try putting this in the .htaccess file (create one if not present) inside the /games/ folder.

Code:
RewriteEngine Off

Tried it, doesnt work :(

For example, The Arcade game Curveball's swf file is located at:
http://digiex.net/games/curveball.swf

Clicking on it redirects to:
http://digiex.net/games-downloads//curveball.swf which will 404.

Thats with the .htaccess file in /games saying ReWrite Engine Off and with the Slug saying the Games forum is /games-downloads

:(

Restarting Apache seems to have fixed it! Thanks for your help
