Hello,

Everytime when I open a thread, it doesn't show for example, "showthread.php?t=219790"
It just shows this: /10026-added-topic-week-nominations.html

Isn't it supposed to show the format showthread.php? instead of the name of the thread? if you go on my website http://wghaven.com and click on a thread and look at the url, you will know what I mean. If this is a bad thing, how do I change it?

This is because you have VBSEO installed. In your footer it says "Search Engine Friendly URLs by vBSEO 3.5.1 PL1"

That's what those URLs are called, "Search Engine Friendly" because Google and others will, all things equal, rate your site higher when keywords are used in the URL.

It's not a bad thing at all.

That's the first thing I think of when I think of SEO. The optimized URLs. I guess you didn't originally own the forum?
