    SMF has pretty good URLs right out of the box. - it doesnt put the keywords inthe URL but it does eliminate variables in the URL and gives .html URLs

    you can take a look at my forum in SMF: http://www.natschat.com/forum/

    I've seen a couple like that but would ideally like keywords in the url if possible.

    I am considering SMF tho, thanks

    Sure, only forum software I know that does that for free is phpbb, but I really dont wanna use that if possible as they have so many security flaws and heard many horror stories.

    "SEO-Board is a forum software that's fast, free, and search engine friendly. It is the perfect solution for small and medium-sized sites." so they say

    Agree, I have been using SEO board for testing purpuses with good performance.

    Using cracked software is not a good idea, particularly with lots of people with nothing else to do that find others using illegal copies to report them without obtain nothing in return.

    Better try a vBulletin-like free solution: http://www.vubb.com

    Their URLs dont contain the thread title. They are just named article1.htm, article2.htm, etc...

    not having keywords in the url is not the end of the world, i dont think search engines give it that much importance.
