Repost - I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. Sorry!

One feature that I would like to see is some sort of static folder/page generation.

For indexing purposes (search engines, etc.) it is an advantage to have http://www.myhost.com/Forums/Category/Forum/post1234.html.

I was wondering if there are any plans to add this sort of feature (originally as a bulk output function in admin, and then just create/update the html files as a post is made/updated). If there are not any plans, is this a reasonable request?

Thanks,

TJ

(note: I am totally aware of the dynamic nature of ASP, yadda yadda - I am a developer. I just found the search engines will index messages/links better if they are not dynamic URL' s)

We don' t have plan to produce html files from ASP because our software needs to maintain a tight control of user permissions -> if we output messages to plain html files, then anyone can view the messages without having to log on.

However, an IIS filter does this type of thing:

The HTML makes sense, but even a structured design using ASP, such as /Forum/Message/683/Page1.asp, would go a long way.
