    I mainly use CRR's on my forums to offer clean readable urls to members.

    Hey Ron,

    CRR's are basically just used to give you the ability to rewrite non core files into clean and readable URL's like the rest of the site. This makes it easier for the user in most parts looks nicer and if done well can increase the page's relevance.

    As an example if you have a page that is currently in the format of

    Code:
    custom-script.php?uid=16&t=my-online-store
    Using this CRR

    Code:
    '^custom-script\.php\?uid=(\d+)&t=(.*)$' => 'custom/$1-$2/'
    This will create a very nice URL of

    Code:
    custom/16-my-online-store/
    Search engines prefer this format over GET variables, and personally the URL becomes more readable to users.

    You don't have to use this, and personally it is a little more readable to the end user.

    thank you Mert & Ceri.

    so beyond cleaner, better looking URLs, there is potentially some SEO benefit.

    time for me to learn more & start using them, thanks again!
