I've enabled search friendly URLs on the board. Basically they are shorter URLs which search engines prefer and are easier to type.
As an example forums/showthread.php?tid=2728 becomes forums/thread-2728.html. There are variant to this if a specific post is targeted or a word highlighted (in a search) but the concept remain the same. This is a thing only for threads and posts URLs, other forum pages are not affected neither is the wiki.
Typing the old URL format will still direct you to a valid thread / post and the URL is not converted until you navigate the site. So all existing links will still work. I did not enable this feature in archive mode because it was somehow breaking the archive. Please report anything you suspect as a bug resulting of this change (or any other bug in fact).
