Here’s an example of what I mean: 

Current URL Structure
http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/support-forum?forum=45&topic=781&page=1

Proposed URL Structure (or something similar)
http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/Using-SF-with-WP-Super-Cache/45/781/1

The idea here is to clean up the querystrings and add meaningful keywords from the post topic which looks much nicer and also helps posts rank higher in Google. It might take a bit of work to implement with rewrite rules and in your code but trust me, it’s well worth doing for your forum and other owners who want additional traffic to their site.

Thanks!

Hi Mr. Papa,  I also vote that this will be a great addition to simple forum.  Again,  thanks for telling me about it.   Combined with the structure theme its brought our site to a whole new level. 

 We’d also be happy to be beta guinea pigs for v 3.0 if you want.
