links on main page

[dingus]

hey guys just through i would let you know the links on the main page dont work right (at least not in FF2)

 

basicly when i select a forum catagory in FF it goes through to

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?board,14.0.html

 

where infact it should be going to

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/board,14.0.html

 

just through some one should be made aware of that nothing major shouldnt take long to fix

Now that I look at it, IE7 does the same thing. This is the URL in my browser

isn't it supposed to be ....index.php?topic,180372.0.html  ?

either one will work. the one you see in your browser is the result of mod_rewrite. the other one is the actual php generated url. They both essentially do the same thing.

Ah ok. Just trying to help with the topic. So was there any real problem with the coding or was this forum designed that way...?

That's how it's designed. Search engines prefer a directory-like appearance over one single file that serves everything.

Interesting SEO tip. Thanks for it.
