It looks like you had VBSEO installed at some point in time (or some SEO plugin). We also used to have VBSEO and had old URLs in the same format.Somewhere along the line my vb3 thread rewrites stopped working - when you click on them they result in Server 500 errors. Would I be able to get someone to take a look at a post on my site and recommend the htaccess rewrite code and where this code should reside in the file and in the directories? I'm running XF 1.5 if that matters. Here's an example post:

Would really appreciate it.
Are you using Nginx or Apache? I can try to help with Nginx rewrite rules. Here is a version that is running on our forums. This rewrite accommodates the forum description in the middle. There are a couple of "lazy" captures in there but the essential capture is the numerical bit - ([0-9]+)
Code:
location ~* /forums/(.*)/([0-9]+)-(.*)\.html$ {
return 301 /index.php?threads/$2/;
}
We have a redirect mapping file with 200+ rules because we had VBSEO, VBulletin fancy URLs and then finally Vbulletin standard URLs on our site.
