Topic: Keywords for forum/topics
Option to add custom meta-tag keywords per forum/topics
It would be essential support for search engines.

Re: Keywords for forum/topics
Except it isn't essential 
It could be done as a mod, but this most certainly isn't essential, search engines or no (just check out PunBB on Google, it has more pages indexed then phpBB does 
)

Hmm... I can say: it can be much better with keywords.

Re: Keywords for forum/topics
PunBB has 48937 posts, 4775 users, etc.
I searched specifically for the forum and got back 165k pages
Google seems to have indexed close to everything that it can, including multiple pages for forums and topics.
I don't think PunBB needs "help" with the search engines, but if you do, feel free to write a mod for it

If I could do it by myself, then I'd do it. But I am not programmer - just end-user, who puts some request with not big hope for fullfill my wishes

Re: Keywords for forum/topics
I agree : I think it is useless for search engine robots, but it may be useful for suggesting "same sort of topics/close subjects" to the user.
I wish you understand my english

Re: Keywords for forum/topics
Yeah, keywords might not be that essential in terms of search engine indexing, but they'd problably be good for other uses (maybe enhance PunBB's internal search? I dunno).
What would be really cool would be the ability to tag topics, then have a tag cloud on the index page.
