XF 1.3 Possible to get rid of post id at the end of title

[kimchicrew]

Is it possible to get rid of post id at the end of title?

For example:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/

Can we switch the address to:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions/
Take out the '5183'?

 

[Amaury]

I don't think so, no. Plus, the ID is what's important. What if there are two threads called Frequently Asked Questions?

The ID is the most important part of the URL.

For example:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/random-title.76824/

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/76824/

 

[kimchicrew]

I would like to change the link from:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/76824/
to
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/title/

If the same title exist then:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/title1
and so on.

I asked this a while back, I would also like that.

 

[Paul B]

It would require custom development.

It would be nice to have a plugin like that or include as as the main function. I know wordpress and some of the other forum that I used to work with offer the title link as the basic function.

For me it's on the list of what would be nice rather than something I worry about. Keeping URLs simple and clean for me is most useful when I am giving it out on the phone. If the trade off meant the forum was slower or there was more to go wrong or one more factor to take into account when trouble shooting then I'll stick with the numbers.

Besides if browsers follow Google Chrome, they may all be going the way of Safari iOS and no longer displaying the URL.
