My forum got screwed up this morning. I had VBSEO installed and I had been meaning to install dbseo, hadn't gotten around to doing it. It looks like the best alternative.
I had to manually remove vbseo from my site as I was getting errors everywhere and finally I could then log into the backend. I also copied over the original .htaccess over.
I have now installed dbseo following the instructions and the installation was fine. The problem is when I enable the mod, I get 404s for all of the links. I guess it is related to the .htaccess file but not sure what.
Here is a copy of the file:
