Overview:

This mod turns the boring Local/Internal URLs for Posts, Threads, Boards and User profile's into their actual titles so that your forums look better and more professional. Its very similar to a functionality from vB which does a similar thing. The mod has settings for parsing the titles on Posting and Page view, as well as a maintenance function that can convert the urls for each of your forum's existing posts.

Example:
This URL (for new websites): "www.yoursite.com/index.php?topic=1"
Would be turned into this title which links to the same page but has different text "Welcome to SMF!".

Settings are found in the Admin panel:
Look in the "Configuration" -> "Modification Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" section of your admin panel.

Backup your database:
Please note that you should always backup your database before using the "Click here to parse the local url titles for all existing messages" function, the mod author takes no liability for the corruption of data.
