Your ideas are where we're heading. But we'll still offer everything under 1 product wink

Just as a bit of insight on what we'll be doing for SEO friendly stuff. Our URLs are pretty friendly now since when friendly URLs are turned on, however there is just a lot of duplicate links in various places, most of the side content makes it pretty rough for search engines to get to the actual content itself.

We can already identify who's a search engine and who's not as long as they are in the search engine list of the control panel. So, what we'll probably eventually do is when a search engine lands on the forum, they'll get served their own template. The side islands won't be shown, the duplicate links will be cut down, no reply options. It will somewhat look like an archive view probably, so it's easier for them to get to the topic content, instead of getting stuck looking at calendar days, or the list of top posters, etc.

This is just an idea currently, but it's something we'll be looking at.

To answer the question you must first give a question.

I was not taking the side content. To give you an example, the main link to this current thread is
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/208471/Poll_Your_top_feature_you_want.html

Now if you go to page two and click on the link to page one the url is http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/208471/1.html

The whole thing is even getting worse. If you click the message icons on page 1 you will get the following links, all linking to the same page:
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208472
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208473
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208477
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208482
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208505
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208512
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208522
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208527
http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthre...html#Post208528

Same for the last post columns on the forums overview/topics pages.

I fixed nearly all problems on my forums, but it was a massive code modification so I am still running 7.3b5 crazy. I may redo this, as soon the final version of 7.4 is available and will document everything this time. As far I can tell you it seems to make a huge difference.

That's one of the things I was referring to Phillip. An example of multiple templates.

The individual icons for regular users give them sort of a permalink directly to the post if they want to bookmark.

However, search spiders don't really need those, so if a search engine is detected, they would get a template that wouldn't have those links.

Yes, but it can be done without 10 new urls wink

Instead of:
Code:
<a href="/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/208472/Re_Poll_Your_top_feature_you_w.html#Post208472">

you can do this:
Code:
<a href="#Post208472">

Well, that really doesn't make it bookmarkable as a permalink. The bookmark would rely on the actual post number in the topic, and not just the anchor. So, if you were to click on the icon and it just had the anchor, you're bookmarked URL might look something like this:

.....topics/208472/Re_Poll_Your_top_feature_you_w.html#Post208475

Post is still set to 208472. Anchor is 208475. Say you come back to your bookmark and 208472 has actually been deleted, but 208475 still remains. You'd get a message stating post cannot be found even though the post you're looking for is still there.

Ok, I guess it works in my forum because I also changed the urls. Basically, my thread urls are always using the post number of the first post.

Features much hoped for:
  • The ability to publish one or more selected posts on other websites without resorting to 3rd-party RSS software, publishing that will correctly display UBB codes.
  • An "Unsubscribe from email" link in every automated email that will work without forcing the user to login.
  • User blogs confined to a defined area (revokable permissions by groups).
  • The ability to switch off "Magic URLS" in the control panel (I currently hack the code to stop auto-conversion of text to clickable URLs at this time)
  • A wider selection of professional-looking CSS stylesheets/themes that comes packaged with the product.
  • Improved graemlins & post icons.

I would like to know how many people login per day, how many posts I have per day. I have 8000 visitors per day, but only a few really posts, but I really want to know how many exact.
