Hi,

Does MyBB 1.8 still use relative links?
Depends which links you're talking about.
AFAIK all links were/are absolute apart from the ones used in the CSS files...
wouldn't it be better to convert everything to use relative links?

get_thread_link() doesn't generate absolute links AFAIK. The same for similar functions. I think that is what Greg means.

Relative links work fine as long as a default forum structure is used. When you start moving files outside the forum directory well there comes the issue. May be worked out too but probably the major concern is when using Google SEO.
Hi,

To clear up the confusion, I was meaning if MyBB 1.8 will allow a Virtual Directory Structure URL, or if it will still use the same type of links.

I personally don't mind if 1.8's link structure stay the same as 1.6's. It works well.
The links structure are not different to those of the current 1.6 system.
