It would seem that we have gone out of our way to ensure that the bulk of the community stays here and never visits, let alone participate at Area 51. One simple way is to add a link under Community that says "Feature Requests" and takes to Area 51. I'm sure that won't take more than 2 mts to implement.AdamR wrote:For what it's worthy, I completely agree that Area51 doesn't get as much traffic as it should, and I personally would love for everything to be in one place. There's been discussion about how we can solve that problem effectively,

There is already a link on the board index, just under Announcements.sooskriszta wrote: One simple way is to add a link under Community that says "Feature Requests" and takes to Area 51. I'm sure that won't take more than 2 mts to implement.
Hardly anybody ever goes to board index, and when they do, Area 51 seems too exclusive. The link needs to be under COMMUNITY in top menu (where there are other links like Support Forums, Mod Forums, Styles Forums, phpBB Discussion, etc) - link should be called Feature Requests or some such and should lead to Area 51Brf wrote:There is already a link on the board index, just under Announcements.
Not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic - can't decipher emoticons very well. But having the entire topic text in the url is actually the point of this discussion. Assuming that entire topic text would be in URL, how exactly should the resulting issues be addressed?Rotsblok wrote:I would like to have the entire topic text in the url.. Just for the fun of it.. and that ppl can always read what the topic is about.
My bad. I misunderstood. I was talking about topic title when I said topic text (I read it as title text). Including the whole post is not advisable. Now I understand why aBrf wrote:That would be a pretty long URL then. Your last post is 430 characters. I doubt you would want a URL much longer than, say, 20.

The entire point of "SEO URLs" is to make the URLs look static, rather than using parameters. My guess for your proposal is that Google will possibly choose to ignore the title parameter if it sees duplicate pages with different title parameters - this is the way it currently works from what I've seen in Webmaster Tools AFAIK.Pony99CA wrote:Assuming that search engines don't ignore parameters, that seems like it would be easy to do now.
