Hey Craven,
I was looking over my forum that I've happily modded with your mod (it's great... I love it). I noticed that if you get a thread that's multiple pages if you click the NUMBER 1 instead of the title it gives you a different URL (i.e. instead of it being about56.html, it'll be about56-0.html).
I was just curious what you thought about this... if this is something I did wrong, or if it's just a problem with the mod or what it is. That's a pretty obvious pagerank leak, and I can't imagine it'd be too good for google (same content twice, etc.). I also noticed that all of the other subpages had differnet .html names based on whethor you clicked the number or the "next page" link.
Anyway... Just wanting to hear your input. All in all though, the mod is GREAT! I couldn't be any more happy... it's grown all of our websites.

This is how phpbb works, pagination introduces an additional variable.
Sure, making the initial page not need this variable would be nice (all subsequent pages would still need it, of course) but it would involve getting deeper into phpbb code than I feel it is worth.
In any case, I won't be addressing these details in phpbb2 and will wait for phpbb3 before I mod too deeply.
