Url friendly rewrite and thread titles causes error 500

[TazDevilLooney]

I'm able to reproduce,

If you remove this line

RewriteRule ^(?.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]

The 500 Error go away, but you lose your CMS

[Sat Jul 31 00:20:36 2010] [error] [client 188.93.10.56] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer: http://web-sniffer.net/

Thats the 500

As google is already indexing the new file structure from the .htaccess file i cant really go back to the standard one so i left the CMS off! till a fix is found.

Your second problem is an unresolved issue. Bumping the issue hasn't got anyone's attention yet.

Maybe clicking "Vote" on the issue will bump it up the priority order.

Hi to all!

I have two problems with the url rewrite on vb4.0.3

First, when I upgrade from vb3 to vb4, I lost the url rewrite, because I was using the TFFSeo mod rewrite. Now I have a new url and when someone try to access a old url they get a 500 Error instead of a 404 error.

Second, when a title of a thread has dots, in general 3 dots (...), the second page of that thread can´t be accessible.

I search the board for a solution, but i can´t find it.

This is my htacces
