does MyBB 1.4 have search engine friendly URL's by default ? Can it be enabled without any addons or mods?

somewhere I saw

http://www.sitename.com/thread-1012.html

likewise. How to make such URL's.

Thanks.

I have version 1404 of mybb.

Keep in mind that there is a plugin that will create a sitemap for you, but it's not compatible with the SEO urls. You end up having to pick between a sitemap and pretty URLs.

For me personally, I think it's more important to sumbit a good sitemap to google, since they can already read my non-seo urls.

Why would it not be compatible? You can still use the non SEO URLs as they will still work.

The SEO urls are not really that affective anyway. I think it would be better if they used keywords in the URL. So instead of:
http://community.mybboard.net/thread-43375.html

you would have something like:
http://community.mybboard.net/search-eng...43375.html

Simple solution then: use another plugin Wink
