Great Keep going Forumotion the best

Wonderful. That's the best news!

The most helpful thing you can do is make our forums available to search engines. I'm glad to see we're up to their standards now.

I really hope this drives traffic to our keywords.

Cheers!

nice!

A lot of work for us templaters, eh?
Nice update, the SEO's worth the work!

i already changed them all in 2 mins

I've changed them too now
Not does it help with SEO, but it also looks better!
Keep up the good work, Typlo & CO!

Nooooooooooo.... Months/years of my SEO effort are now all gone.

By the way Typlo. You guys need to update the Robots.txt, they are still using the old urls.

I have changed, but still see the old url

Hopefully, they'll set up 301 redirects,

So let me get this straight ..

For example, to visit the FAQ, instead of /faq.htm it will be /faq ?

After seeing the new URLs, it looks like the changes were for better server performance, not for SEO. This, plus IMGFAST, makes me wonder whether...aw, never mind. We'll all find out soon enough...

I'm glad I use Invision and phpBB3 exclusively. I feel sorry for those who bought the line that the best boards were phpBB2 and PunBB because they have templates, because those people have a LOT of work ahead of them -- this is only the beginning!

I will say, though...nice touch with the quote! Adding a date was a good idea. Adding a link to the quoted post would have been a better idea, though.

And what about the gallery?

Given the fact that I didn't even notice this change it was that smooth.

*insert hug for the admins here*

ok, thanks for update, beautifullllllllllllllll

So.. it is done completly ? Because the links to the users profile are kinda wierd.. a few day they were like /u123-Username (wich were acceptable).. now there just /u123-
