Hello,
I'm using FUFForum for about a year and a short time ago, I recognized that Search Engines like Google don't find my messages/postings by keywords.
Is that normal? Can I change it somehow?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Philipp
PS: In case that this question has been asked several times before, I apologize for this. I just didn't find any postings that seem to match my situation.

Good question. The reason for this is quite simple, most search engines refuse to parse any URLs that have things like ?fdsf&fd=fd in them, because those could be used to trick the search engine to keep parsing the same page over & over again. The upcomming forum release will support PATH_INFO style urls like a.php/ws/s/ddsa/, which are much more search engine friendly.

Oh,
I think I understand that thing. It's simular using
format('foo '+ %s + 'a' + %s)
['b', 'r'];
in other languages (like Pascal for example). The difference is, that in PHP you READ (most likely) the variables on same way.
But that only works in Apache 1.3.x is quite annoying. What if my Provider decides in a few weeks to upgrade to Apache 2 or, even worse, IIS ?

Well, theoretically it should work in IIS & Apache 2, however in my tests with the current PHP (4.3.2RC2) it did not work with Apache 2. And the people I've asked reported that this is does not work with IIS. The solution is to harass PHP developers and get them to fix the problem.

My host uses Apache/1.3.28 and it does not seem to work either.
Is there are workaround using mod rewrite?

Yes, you need to use enable path_info based theme and used mod_rewrite to convert path_info style URLs into their normal equivalents like users.inc.t does normally.
