Thanks - on mine there are no IDs, (eg. it's url/forum/general-discussion)  so I'll need to write specific redirects for each forum,  but it shouldn't take long.

I've decided I'm not going to let the worry of losing search engine placement stop me changing over. In some ways the perceived threat of this effectively holds you to ransom and locks you into a product. You have to consider that even in a worst case scenario, you still have your existing users and Google will, in time, re-index you even with no redirects.

@ Kier - I think a lot of this stems from people coming into vBSEO when they had vB3.x and nice urls were all the rage. Personally I can't see any reason why xF wouldn't be miles better than my vB3.x + vBSEO. Why? Because the code is better, quicker, and you don't have the complication of a critical add-on that needs constant updating and security patches.
