when would i use it or base another template on it -- i use default as the basis for all my templates -- am i missing out on something ????

The purpose is the following: Search engines usually get along much better with paths which only contain slashes as separator than query strings. Among them the most poweful: Google. If the Google bot stumbles across a query string link it usually doesn't follow it but only indexes the current page it's on. This, of course, isn't optimal for the hits-conscious webmaster and that's exactly where "path-info" kicks in: It makes the links understandable for this kind of bots and as a result the complete forum or site will be indexed, which usually results in higher traffic.
However given the glitches it has had so far and may still have I'd rather consider it "experimental" at this time. But it's already pretty usable now and keeps getting better, thanks to Ilias hard work Smile
