Not a bug Thread Title Prevents Posting

This also has the problem of any established site that has already been index, taking a dip on google as the URLs change across the site.

But they'll still work, just redirect to the new ones.

I see.

But you still fail to recognize that xF should do something about this.

Telling people that its their fault for using Adblocker and to turn it off, was not the correct way to handle this.

What's interesting is that a thread with this link works fine:

http://rpg-directory.com/threads/whats-the-point-in-advertising.59989/

No problem replying to that one. This one, however, is a no-go:

http://rpg-directory.com/threads/au-marvel-gargoyles-site-seeking-advertising-guru.66601/

Both have "advertising" in the URL. The only difference is that one has a period after the word, and the other has another dash. Could be significant?

> No one is going to use your site and post new content if they have to take extra steps to make it work, when they just go to a competing site where they don't have to do that.

The user experience is key to any successful web venture. If you have to have users do something special in order to experience your site, you are going to have a bad time. Users are lazy, and they want their content without having to jump through hoops for it. Something that is detrimental to the user experience is the #1 thing that will drive people to choose a different software solution to fit their needs.

> turn of full friendly URL's (it will stop the thread name appearing in the URL).

It would still be nice if this could be fixed in the software. Actually, all you need to do is uncheck the "include content title in URL" setting. You can keep full friendly URLs turned on.

That's what I meant, thought that's what it was called.

The software cannot predict keywords that will trigger the problem. Due to it being from an ad blocker, this is not a bug.
