Topic: Name of topic in URL?

I'm talking about when you post on your board, you get some random numbers.
Would there be a way to change that into the topic name?

EG: post42345358943 to Name_of_topic_in_url?

This may or may not be possible, I really do not know.

Thanks

Re: Name of topic in URL?

No, because the "random numbers" are the primary key that identifies a post, topic, etc in the database. More than one topic can have the same title
For 1.3 we are working on SEF URLs that also include the name of a topic, forum, etc, but you can't exclude the numbers for efficiency reasons (and for identification reasons, as I mentioned above).

Re: Name of topic in URL?

Oh okay, it's just that I set slugs for WP and it doesn't really match. Doesn't matter to me much.
Thanks for the info anyways.
