ok there... fellas.
I have used this site - http://tools.summitmedia.co.uk/spider/ to spidy my site.
My site is www.thalforum.com and when i put this to spider.. i get all broken links.
However when I put www.thalforum.com/forums in th spidy tool.. then i get all pages spidered in html
Q: what do i need to do in order to spider all my pages by entering www.thalforum.com since most spiders actually visit the main page first.
everything else is just fyne.

=========================
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^thread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]+).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-one.html$ forumdisplay.php?f=1 [L]
=========================
I am also have a another .htaccess file in the root of my webapge
www.thalforum.com
which uses 301 option to forward the users from www.thalforum.com/index.php to www.thalforum.com/forums

Tdot,
Interesting that it is working for you. I'm still struggling with the new post/last post thing. Now I have a problem with reply emails in that the links don't work.

I cant see why the mod wasn't made to effect only guests / non-logged in users... why on earth is it needed for members logged in?
Here (below) is what I used for phpbb and it worked excellently in google - it only effects 'guests' therefore there are no problems with other features, such as merge posts and email functions and the other problems associated with anything when logged in.
wish someone would convert it to vB! :-(

Tdot,
I'd be very interested to see if you made the following changes to the lastpostby and threadbit templates. I'm trying to debug mine.
