How to make phpbb URL's SEO Friendly?

[now_i_m_here]

Hello Guys.

I have just set up a PHPbb forum for the first time and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how I can make the URL's search engine friendly ?

Also, any other tips on how I can make my new forum SEO friendly would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

you could try to avoid the ?link= type statement in you url as a start, this is less friendly than using a name for the page, and try to use your relevant keywords in the page name also.
