    Starting fresh with vb4 suite and vbseo, ideal url structure?

    I'm starting a new site fon the vb4 suite so I'm thinking about how I want to structure links. All files are in root. What is the best (relative term I know) structure to use for the links?


    I was playing around with the settings and this part looks good:

    Forum URL: site.com/forum-name/
    Thread URL: site.com/forum-name/34-title-of-post/
    Article URL: site.com/content/title-of-article-116/

    But this part seems out of place somehow... like having to go deeper into the site to find these items. I am wondering if there is a better idea for this?

    CMS Section: site.com/section/news-5/
    CMS Category: site.com/catagory/test-1/


    Maybe

    CMS Section: site.com/News-S5/
    CMS Category: site.com/test-C1/

    ??

    I'd like to know this too. Of the seven options, which is the best for a new site? I'm pulling my hair out searching, but obviously don't know what to search for because I'm finding squat. VBSEO picked "007--non-english speaking forums" at the install, but "001--default settings" for the CMS. This is on a site that speaks nothing but english...

    What we really need to know, and what I think the OP was getting at, is which is ideal? At the very least, where can we learn more about the various options?

    This will not work as categorie and section urls will get mixed up. When you are customizing your url structure , you need to make sure the url structure you use will not cause any problems.
