Title: New URLs and Forum Title
Post by: Weisseman on April 07, 2013, 09:10:55 pm
In an effort to improve our SEO I've updated the site to have nicer URL's and I've changed the title to 'Furtopia | Family Friendly Furry Forum and IRC Chat!'.

You'll mainly notice the URL's to boards and threads will look nicer :) Action and profile URL's are still the same.

It does look very nice.  I'm glad these minor changes are being done.  :)

Cursory experimentation suggests that the forum remains backwards compatible with old links (I was initially concerned about that).  It'll take me a while to get used to the changes, but I think they'll be quite helpful, especially in the long run.

(For those who don't know, SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization; it involves techniques (such as the changes discussed in this thread) that make it easier for search engines to parse websites for content at a high level and gauge the relevance of our content with respect to their users' searches.)

I've tested this a well and it turned out fine. Have to see if it does cause issues in the future but by the looks of things it shouldn't.

Something’s different… Sudden change… Scary… :o


Seriously though, it looks good. :)
