I'm getting the same issue, but as I've been following not just the sage advice of cscgal, but also the other gurus in this thread, the links still work: however my links show up as as my tempalte is of the following structure and my .htaccess line in reference is as follows:
I don't know why this is happening, as the code definitely seems to be processing properly in all other cases.
I hope there is a solution, but for this structure of link, the links still work, they are just not showing the formatted title in the link name...

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" /> <a href="f$forum[forumid]-$forum[url].html">$forum[title]</a>
RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L]

If anyone could help me that would be great.
Can someone please help me with regards to this? My forum is useless as I get these errors and it needs to be launched in under 1 week.

Thanks Dani - just applied everything on a new site and everything working fine. 
However, something you may like to look at is that with user profiles, the record of posts in "find all posts by user" comes up as dynamic links, not static HTML ones. You've addressed that in your original mod_rewrite here, but it doesn't seem addressed in your latest mod - just checked out the SEO-guy forums and it's doing it there.
The concern there is simply that with static and dynamic pages listed, there's duplicated content, and I'm not sure how the search engines will deal with that issue.
Anyway...thanks you for a fine mod anyway.

Hey there Brian The "find all posts by user" is based on vBulletin's search feature. Therefore, it is necessary to edit the templates that vBulletin uses when you perform searches. There are two templaets involved here, as searches can display results as threads or can display results as posts.
When a search displays results as a thread, the threadbit template is used. So that is already taken care of. However, when a search displays results as a post, the template to be concerned with is search_results_postbit
This template has one occurrence of showthread.php? that will need to be updated and one occurrence of forumdisplay.php? that will need to be updated, as well.

Re: vBulletin mod_rewrite RE: Who's Online Full Solution
OK - I followed your later post about this issue, and took it to the nth degree:
There are a couple of things to do here:

There are a couple of things to do here:
- in includes/functions_online.php, add a new function:[php]function mod_rewrite_title($title)
{
$rewritten = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-",str_replace("/", "-", $title)));
return ereg_replace("[/?!.
%£()~*@]+", "", $rewritten);
}
[/php] - Then, find:[php] convert_short_varnames($values);
$userinfo['values'] = $values;
[/php] - Add below:[php] if (eregi("t([0-9]+)-(.*).html$", $filename, $tmatch))
{
$filename = 'showthread.php';
$values['threadid'] = $tmatch[1];
}
if (eregi("f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$", $filename, $fmatch))
{
$filename = 'forumdisplay.php';
$values['forumid'] = $fmatch[1];
}
if (eregi("post([0-9]+).html$", $filename, $pmatch))
{
$filename = 'showthread.php';
$values['postid'] = $pmatch[1];
}
[/php] - NOTE: in this above addition, you MUST alter the thread, forum and post rewrite statements to match those in your htaccess!
- Now, search for every instance of [php]$userinfo['where'][/php] which refers to the three $filename instances above and alter the <a href="... statement to match the rewritten display of your URLs...
examples[php]$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"f$forumid-" . mod_rewrite_title($forumtitle) . ".html\">$forumtitle</a>";
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"t$forumid-" . mod_rewrite_title($threadtitle) . ".html\" title=\"$threadpreview\">$threadtitle</a>";
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"post$postid.html#postid=$postid\" title=\"$threadpreview\">$threadtitle</a>";[/php]

Heh: I know what you mean, but as my board is just as much an experiment of mine as a active forum, I can afford to screw up once in a while 
This last bit in my post above can be broken up into two parts:
One part makes the Who's online refer to the right link name (adding the code just below [php]convert_short_varnames($values);
$userinfo['values'] = $values; [/php])
The rest of the mod is what's required to force the links to be links to the rewritten URI's not the showthread.php/forumdisplay.php links, etc
