Hi,

Here is another small thing I would like to do to optimize how my website is crawled.

I would like to add a canonical link in the header of the message pages.
Something like:
<link rel="canonical" href="www.myfudform.com/t/3881/" />
in the header of the HTML page.

The reason why I want to do that is that without, there are many url driving to the same content.
For instance:

www.myfudform.com/t/3881/ ( good URL) and www.myfudform.com/?t=msg&th=3881&goto=11836&#msg_11836 (duplicate URL)

Adding this canonical link in the header would solve the problem.

Note: this has nothing specific and would be a generic improvement to FUDForum.

Thanks to let me know if you have any idea how to hack this.
