If I recall correctly, the way the URLs currently are is due to the way the backend is hacked/set up. I definitely want to have pretty URLS, better multi-urls/filtering URLs, etc. at some point. I especially want to add post titles to the post URLs so they are a little more interesting to look at instead of just a string of numbers. I think it's a matter of effort vs reward at this point; the amount of work it takes to set it up is far greater than the reward. I do like the idea of having a way to see two tags at once - or two users at once - or whatever. reddirecpthoo, you would probably be interested in this: https://hubski.com/pub?id=143618 Also, you can create lists with posts and comments: https://hubski.com/pub?id=121928 I believe that's all the URL hacking available right now.
I have no clue what the backend is but on Apache servers RewriteRule ^tag/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ tag?id=$1 [NC,L] in a .htaccess Would turn hubski.com/tag?id=sometag into hubski.com/tag/sometag Likewise, RewriteRule ^(#[A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ tag?id=$1 [NC,L] changes hubski.com/tag?id=sometag into hubski.com/#sometag I think, although you'd have to be careful using # because # indicates a webpage fragment.
Yeah. I did 500 htaccess redirects with querystrings yesterday so URLS to our old site would redirect to specific pages of the new site. So thanks for the flashbacks. You can see how the backend works here: http://hubski.com/pub?id=126759
