Do you admins know which SEO hack you are going to use with vB? It might be possible to create a regex expression in the .htaccess that determines if the url is using the new SEO format or the old, and then redirect the url to the correct php file accordingly.

For example, the url to this page on this thread is
"ppcgeeks.com/converting-from-phpbb-to-vb-t8070,start,30.html"

While if you use vBSEO hack on vB, it might look like
"ppcgeeks.com/f16/converting-from-phpbb-to-vb-8070/index2.html"

So while difficult, it will be possible to create rules that determine if the url uses the old SEO or the new SEO format.

In this particular case, since the vBSEO hack doesn't use commas (AFAIK), we can check whether the url contains comma's and if so, redirect the request to a php file that does the necessary conversions to send the user the page he requested.
