What does this add-on do?
This add-on replaces the standard forums and threads routes with shorter routes. This has the potential to optimise your search engine rankings by having important keywords closer to your domain name.
A link to a forum that would usually look like this:
/forums/name-of-forum.123/
would be replaced with:
/name-of-forum.f123/
A link to a thread that would usually look like this:
/threads/title-of-thread.123/
would be replaced with:
/title-of-thread.f123/
Existing forum and thread links will automatically redirect to the new links and all other links on your site will automatically be updated to the new links, including sitemap links.
