    Hey mate,
    the former is a ton better than the latter. Couple of reasons for that, but mainly:
    1. First example uses actual words instead of number, Google values this since it makes navigating the site easier (from the user's pov)
    2. The first example also allows for keyword targeting. As you might or might not know, when you SEOing your forum website, keywords in urls are a big advantage over mere numbers.

    Cheers

    Hey Mate,

    if you follow do follow link structure then it's better than no follow because may be after no follow submission you have 100 back link but if you have only 1 follow link then you will have good boost for your keywords.

    If there is a keyword in there like in the first case it is better and helps boost your SEPR.
    This also makes navigation easy which Google likes.

    The first one is much better, but even better than that is if you use keyword or hyphenated keyword phrases in the URL.

    First one is more better than second one , because it uses actual words instead of Dynamic URL. First one helps crawler to judge about the page.
