Enabling mod_rewrite for a forum probably isn't the best of ideas
|
Maybe, but we did it anyway and had some interesting results..........
Its working ok on the forum now but in first version we tried we had the title in the url which was cool but with threads that had a ? in the title gave us 404's so we went back to a more basic format which is in use now. I'd like to have the urls incorperating the title tag but that wont be possible using mod_rewrite, to make it work we would need to hack numerous vBulletin files so I think I'll leave it as it is at the moment and see how the crawlers cope with the code for a while.
News posts on the otherhand are different as there's about half a dozen php files used to present them on various parts of the site, these can be hacked and sometime next week we should have some nice urls for Renz's posts.
