Changeing the threads from php to html format

[Alis]

Change'ing the php format to html would help the forums each topic to be indexed on the net.

Could be done from the control panel of the vb

[clvezlys]

She is right - google likes html better. If it's PHP, there is a suspicion that the page is custom-generated.

The forum has not trouble getting indexed:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Aforums.coolest-gadgets.com

And the search engines don't prefer one over the other if you stick with just one or two variables max.

is that link in turkish ?

[Alis]

Yes it is , Im Turkish :). how did you understand ;)

[jacubilloro]

Does it helps us users to have the forums on HTML or is it just the same?

[Johan]

You wouldn't notice any difference as a user.

[amitpatel_3001]

dont think its required, because when you keep the html based pages option there is a problem of duplicate pages in the eyes of the search engines.

[Case]

vB should have a simple plain text version IE LOFI version that google will index fine...

[Al]

There is a plain text version in the archives (http://forums.coolest-gadgets.com/archive/index.php) which is also good for PDA size screens. The main forums are also getting indexed pretty well for such a new site.

[Case]

Yea that will keep the seach engins happy.

[jacubilloro]

How can I acces the text version? I want to be able to use it on my cellphone.

[Al]

Use the archives (http://forums.coolest-gadgets.com/archive/index.php) as they are pretty much clean but boring text only.

[Case]

Al you chould make a palm.coolest-gadget subdomain that is a lo fi palm version that links the forum ect and set a browser check on the front page. Like google does when i go to google.com it automaticly gives me the handheld version on my treo

[jacubilloro]

Better make it mobile.coolest-gadgets. And that is really a very good idea.
Al, why isn't there a mobile version for those of us who spend much of our days on the street?

[Case]

Get a better mobile browser :)

i use my treo on here a lot..

[jacubilloro]

My phone browser does support coolest-gadgets.com very well, but it would still be a good idea to have a mobile version. Just to speed things up.

[Al]

Have you tried gadget archives (http://forums.coolest-gadgets.com/archive/index.php) jacubilloro, it should make mobile browsing a lot easier.

[jacubilloro]

But then I won't be able to post, or create threads...
And I'm also talking about a mobilew version of the main site coolest-gadgets.com. That would be nice.

[Al]

Ah I see, I've not planned on adding that sort of functionality as it would be a lot of work. If there is a demand for it I will look in to it though.

[Case]

isnt there a AvantGo mod for vB? i coulda sworn i saw it on thier forums a while back
