htaccess convert to nginx config

[ababneh]

Hi all,
I've moved my vbulletin forum from a host with apache server to a different host with nginx webserver. As you know, htaccess will have to be converted to nginx rules and applied to nginx config. Since I don't have SEO links enabled, do I really need to convert the htaccess and apply it to nginx? Would the forum work smoothly without doing that? (note the forum is plugins and addons free, just the basic suite).

thanks

If your not using vb's url seo, then no, you dont need the rewrite rules.
