I never intended to geek out to this degree, but running an active website with a worldwide audience changes a man, let me assure you.
The latest result is a certain modification to the forum and other website software which generates real language URL links from posts on the honda305.com forum. This is known as URL rewriting, but what's important is the (positive) effect it has on the everyday forum operation.
More specifically, where the unmodified configuration would give you a link like this:
http://www.honda305.com/forums/post50995.html#50995 ...the latest change will reference the same post as:
http://www.honda305.com/forums/electron ... t8582.html ...check it out! ...they both point to the same (awsome, and soon to be a thread) post.
I think you can see the difference. Going forward, whenever a need to create a link to a post comes up, the URL itself will be far more readable. I hope this will be useful to forum members. Also, over time, search engines will reindex the forum posts under the new system which will in turn make the website searchable with even greater accuracy.
It has now been several days since the changes went in effect. I haven't detected any problems, but if any do come up, please be sure to let me know.
I have other improvements planned so please stay tuned with the shiny side up!
Happy Holidays to Everyone!!!
