New Forum Feature: Descriptive URLs
We've installed an update that produces wordy URLs for each page rather than random numbers. You do NOT need to do anything differently. Old links will continue to work. This is mainly a cosmetic modification.
For example, the News and Aircraft Visitors forum now appears as
instead ofand individual thread URLs will look like
rather thanWe have tested this, but please let us know if you see anything weird in terms of site operation.
Thanks!

Re: New Forum Feature: Descriptive URLs
The "LGA Daily Report" thread fails with a 404 error, probably because of the "smart quote" apostrophe. The URL looks like this: http://nycaviation.com/forum/lga-dai...-t9863s135.php
(The fact that the apostrophe ends up as %CA%B9 means it's a two-byte Unicode character and not a regular ' character.)

Also, the "Mark forums read" link on the main forum page doesn't work; it just links back to the main page without actually doing anything.

Re: New Forum Feature: Descriptive URLs
From the "there's a new post" e-mail notification, the provided link in that e-mail:
http://nycaviation.com/forum/viewtop...=93407&e=93407
doesn't work. It redirects to:
http://nycaviation.com/forum/new-for...p=93407#p93407
which is a 404 error. Changing the ampersand to a question mark works but the behind-the-scenes rewriting should probably take care of adding a ? before any query string.
Re: New Forum Feature: Descriptive URLs

I have fixed all the bugs reported above. The only one I couldn't test was the email notifications. Anyone want to give it a go? Thanks!

That's a separate issue. Looking into that now.
