Thank you for the info. It's great to have honest feedback from webmasters who went through what I am about to go through. I have to admit that the multiple 301 redirects scare me from the search engine standpoint: VBSEO urls > basic VB urls > not friendly Xenforo urls > friendly Xenforo urls...

I very much appreciate you sharing this. I was looking as your forums, your forums seem to be a bit larger than mine. Did you loose any activity or revenue when you switched? Nice design by the way.

I was just about to come back saying that attachments are blocked in robots.txt here so that's normal :) And yes it would be nice to do it in a more friendly manner with an extension. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.

Ahhhh good point! Thanks @Jeremy P (I really love this @ feature in posts by the way :) )

I noticed that Xenforo is not using common file name extensions like .png or .jpg for attachments. So I searched Google Images and pretty much couldn't find any of the attachments in this forum. I've found avatars though of course because they have an image extension. 1. Is there a way to keep...

I was using PHP tools including those that mimic Googlebot. They were all reading the page as if a 301 never existed. I wish I could triple check that Google actually understands that there is a 301. Pretty critical to me and I am so new to Xenforo that I don't know exactly how it works.

Weird, everywhere I was trying I got: Requesting http://xenforo.com/community/threads/71764/ SERVER RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 00:39:51 GMT Server: Apache Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-control: private, max-age=0 Set-Cookie...

Thanks @Ridemonkey , maybe I do. But this is 2 redirects then, including one that's incorrect: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/71764/ is redirecting but returns an HTTP 200 response code instead of a 301. This isn't good for SEO as it could be misinterpreted by search engines. The 200...

Hi, I should have been more clear: 1. Attachments: yes I asked but I didn't specify that these attachments are also rewritten with VBSEO. Links are not the typical attachment.php with query parameters. So I need to redirect these mod_rewrite links as well. Is there a known solution for that...

@Mike @Brogan thanks, I used the tool as I have IDs: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule [^/]+/.+-t([\d]+)-([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [NC,L] RewriteRule [^/]+/.+-t([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L] So that means that my URLs get redirected to the non-friendly Xenforo URLs if I am...

Thank you for the info about WP. I will check this add-on.

As a potential buyer of Xenforo I am more than surprised that this is not part of the core. It should be obviously.

Ohh OK, I had no idea. So is Redactor easy to customize? I've never used it (that I now of).

Thanks. So that works even though VBSEO was installed? I've got quite some image search traffic and don't want to loose that. Other questions (sorry, I'm trying to check everything before buying): 1. I read the information above and some other threads but I may have missed something: My VBSEO...

Ok thanks. Is it possible to modify the CK Editor that comes with Xenforo? With VB, enhancing the editor is total nightmare, so that's why I'm asking.
