Sorry about that bit of downtime folks, I was busy installing some add-ons to the forum!

Unfortunately it's nothing really spectacular in terms of user experience, but it should help with getting us back up to the top spots on Google! The URLs used for the various topics etc here are now a lot more search-engine friendly, using lovely words instead of things like:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=246

We now have things like:
announces/5-2-diet-faq-t246.html

Bit better eh?

Having all these descriptive words should help the ranking a bit :)

It hasn't updated the file names for all the existing topics - but I can manually do it for any really important ones.

This has been a lot of work and pretty scary to install so I hope everything is working properly still after the change. I have backups of everything from just before I installed this so if anything's bugged out or if this slows things down drastically (note - things may be a little slower over the next hour or so as the cached templates are re-generated while you browse) then we'll scrap the changes and go back to the old files.

Please shout if you notice anything odd or broken!
