Hi, I'm new to the forum and evaluating the product. Is there a way to set the pagination to be search engine friendly? I've only see the forum do a postback to go to the next page, which I believe won't work with search engines. I'd like it to be passing a query string instead so SE can crawl the content. Is this feature not implemented? Is is planned? Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Not afaik and no there hasn't been any previous request for this yet is the short answer so its not in the development schedule (which is pretty hefty atm.)
Since your evaluating the product it might be a good idea to check out the development schedule in the YAF wiki, to see where we are going and what we are spending our time doing in order of current priorities.

Mek.

I already looked into writing this feature. It definately needs doing...

Rather than have YAF set up your pagination for the less popular search engines you can actually set it up yourself. URL rewriting search at Google for asp.net.

What you need to do then is find out how to alter with YAF, something like default.aspx?g=posts&t=88 to t88posts.aspx which would then take you to the same page with a little bit of URL rewriting.

I was thinking about this too. This would require altering the current stored procedures which I believe there are several. It is actually a much better way of handling paging since it returns only the required rows per page and not the entire rowset.

I've removed all postback from the pagination on this version (unreleased v1.9.1). Didn't require modification of any stored procedures. I agree that posts could be a bit more efficient.
