Thank for the reply. i did that and the first forum still go back to the main index page. all other forums still work.

Hello,

It looks like that you have two forums with the same name: "Minnesota Twins". As you are not using [forum_id] variable, vBSEO is not able to recognize which is the category and which is its child forum.

You can fix that up by:

1. Using vBSEO Slugs feature: [How-to] Use vBSEO's Forum Slugs - Custom Sub-Forum URLs
2. Renaming one of the forums
3. Changing URL format from [forum_title]/ to something else that uses [forum_id] variable

I personally prefer the third option, as it does help you to get better performance by adding IDs to your format URLs (this saves you a query to your database).

I got it to work, as i just rename the forum from Minnesota Twins to Twins baseball. as i like that name better. thank anyway. love this. best thing i install in a long time. But i will keep option 3 in mind if i do want to change to that.
