Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how I could make it so my forum shows the forum name in the URL instead of the forumid?

For example, right now it shows:

www.rpanime.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6

I want it to say:

http://www.rpanime.com/forums/member...edge-base.html

I have seen this on a few sites, and I like the idea. I want to keep the urls as short as possible, and not also expose the ids of the threads, posts, etc.

Does anyone know what I would need to do that?

Thanks in advance.

you need a tool that rewrites the URL's

you can check out vbseo (recommeneded) and nuhit's nuseo.

There are a few others floating around vb.org that are free, but i don't know if they work anymore or not

Im just curious, why does VB not have this built in like most other software does?
Seems a bit of a basic mod to have?

it isn't as easy as you think, or there would be 20 free versions around.
www.vbseo.com is the best

cheers

Another happy vbSEO guy here. It's fantastic.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
