Hi, is it best practice ro use Full Friendly URLs?

It's personal preference.

Most people prefer URLs without the index.php.

Thanks for clarifying that. Is the action irreversible?

 

[Paul B]

No.

They can be enabled/disabled at any time.

Perfect.

But it's best to decide on one setting and stick to it.

I've been using the index.php urls for a few years. However, I want to enable full friendly url's. From an SEO standpoint, is this bad? Is this going to change my forums permalinks?

All links would continue to work as they would be redirected properly. Your indexing might take a hit temporarily as Google reindex all updated links. But should not do any damage.
