SEO-friendly URLs


I think it'd be awesome if the URLs for threads show the subject line.

For example, instead of:

http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/topicadmin.php?tid=480705

It'd say:

http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/February-11-Britney-At-Pr...

There is some prior chatter about this here:

You could set up another test forum and try the implementation to see if it works.

The block of code I'm seeing in that thread doesn't add subjects in URLs. It was designed to change viewthread.php?tid=123 into view123.html and from an SEO point of view that is a semantically worthless difference. Fully upgrading the URL structure in XMB would involve replacing about 10-20% of the existing code base.
