Off-topic / Re: The "Print" function
« on June 14th, 2013, 12:12 PM »You know - the button at the top of threads. Do you think anyone ever uses it? For some reason it came to mind this evening when changing a board description on my forum.
I see it's still around. If it's useful, I think the name should be changed to something else.
Like "thread dump" :) or a better name.
I'd be interested in your thoughts about "Print".

I never said the topic url will improve usability, I only wanted it to be short and neat but yes as you explained, it shouldn't be touched.
The board link improves usability alot as users will find it friendly to just type website.com/board, thank fully, wedge have this!
From some websites I have used, simple use link improves users experience. If I am to give example, I will use twitter instead of Facebook. See also this userlink as example nairaland.com/seun. As Arantor said, I am not best in English and a lot of guys are down rating me because of it. Never liked English.

« on June 11th, 2013, 07:04 PM »No, once again you're not reading what I'm writing.
No. I even gave you a screenshot for this. It is website.com/boardname/topicnumber/topic-title where the boardname can have multiple / in it (e.g. /pub/feats like this board does) and can include something for the category if so desired. /pub/ is one board, /pub/feats/ is another board. As it happens it is a child board of /pub/ but it doesn't actually have to be.
Wordpress have something like this which gives the admin to chose the predefined permanent link like
I didn't talk about bookmarks. I'm talking about people sharing content via social media etc. What you're arguing for isn't how people use sites and sharing information.
This concerns usability, let me give example.
Some members are influential in the community that others will always like to visit their profiles,checkout their latest posts etc, they will be happy if they can simply type their links direct in browser wedge.com/arantor (like twitter.com/user) viola! - This will also improve usability.
The only thing I have to thank you for is wasting my time arguing about something you clearly don't understand. (It is crap like this that makes me look forward to TWO MONTHS not touching Wedge at all. I can't wait, because dealing with people who think they know what they're talking about, when they don't, is very frustrating.)

Once again, I am misunderstood.
The link is not totally user generated, of course user are not interested imputing the link url, it is going to e generated just like wedge is doing but
Admin will configure it to automatically -
website.com/topicnumber/topic-title
not
website.com/boardname/childboarname/topic-title
Wordpress have something like this which gives the admin to chose the predefined permanent link like
website.com/category/post-name
website.com/date/post-name
website.com/post-name
* Users care if
The profile links direct to the username like
wedge.com/Arantor - with this, I will visit Arantor's profile direct without visiting the forum, searching for Arantor so as to visit his profile.
The Child Boards links direct to the website - website.com/childboard
So they can visit their favorite board without visiting the forum, click category eg Technology, Click childboard 1 eg Phones, Click childboard 2 eg android etc.
You may talk of bookmarks but it should interest you to know many people over here don't still reorganize bookmark functionality and how to use it.
Thanks

Looks like you misunderstood me.
* In saying dynamic URL, I mean url that is not static
Static URL = wedge.org/index.php?topic=20
Dynamic URL - wedge.org/topic-name
* On the board URL, I don't know it can be configured in the admin panel
I mean it should be like this
The Pub ( Which is a Board) should have something like this - wedge.org/the-pub and not wedge.org/pub
Features (Which is Child board) should have a link like this - wedge.org/pub not wedge.org/pub/features
* On the shorten link issue
True, there is no SEO benefit in link with topic name but there is benefit of more clickthrough because of the keyword included in the topic link. I also read online that long keyword in the link may hurt the seo. And long topic link looks ugly and 'spammy@'.

Features / Wedge Link Structure
« on June 10th, 2013, 05:45 PM »
I don't know if this is the best board for this post, mod please move to a suitable category if it is in a wrong place.
I have been testing wedge via user interface, I have many requests/suggestions. I will like to start with the link structure.
I commend the dynamic link, it is great but I will like the link to be like this
User Profile Link - wedge.org/wanchope
Board Link - wedger.org/features not wedge.org/category/board/childboard etc
Topic Link - wedger.org/27183(topic number)/topic title.
There is also available feature in MYBB SEO mode which gives the admin ability to set the maximum amount of words in the link
eg, a long topic like smf and wedge is not different, just smf with different name and fewer functions removed, said by a clown will be reduce to wedge.org/17264/smf-and-wedge-is-not ( I was let to know that long topic link is not good for seo as well) besides something like this wedge.org/2783/smf-and-wedge-is-not-different-just-smf-with-different-name-and-fewer-functions-removed-said- by-a-clown looks ugly.
Thanks.

Yes, you are probably right. A hater with brain will not lie if the truth is so obvious, it will just kill what he is trying to achieve. He should use another factors to condemn his enemy. In this case, the guy just shot at his feet.

Whoever said this is a JOKE! Can't he sit down, look around and see the obvious truth? Sometimes I respect liars but I despises those that don't know the limit.

Off-topic / Re: Initial forecasts of Wedge installs/conversions
« on May 31st, 2013, 09:21 PM »Upgrading in Wedgeland is simpler because most stuff just doesn't pose the same problem, plugins don't get to modify files. So it's then only user specific changes, but that's ultimately their problem not ours.

Got the forum, just combined your description and Google did the rest. A really huge forum but I guess something like this is mainly for teens. Nice work. Someone like me will not allow avatar in the forum.

Off-topic / Re: Next System Visitation
« on May 31st, 2013, 08:46 PM »In which case you already have your answer and don't need me to further validate what you already know or suspect to be true. But I'm still not doing system X versus system Y unless there is a *specific* reason to compare them.
I have no doubt, for example, that I will be comparing XF with vB 3 when I get to reviewing it because XF's developers are ex vB developers (Kier Darby was lead dev of vB 3.x as well as XF), but that's also to see how things have evolved, and what has stayed the same in that time. That's a similar comparison in a lot of ways to SMF 1.0 to 1.1 to 2.0 which is something I might do sometime just if I get bored; there's nothing to learn from the earlier SMF history.[1]
1. There are no significant functionality removals between 1.0 and 2.0, only new features, so it then becomes a point of figuring out what was added when.
