Will it create any problems changing it or why is this function like this (wouldn’t everybody like it unticked I mean?)?

It should not create problems if you untick.

the forums part just gives a consistent custom post structure so you have

/forums/forum/forum-name
/forums/topic/topic-name
/forums/reply/replyid

If you are running multiple forum platforms (eg bbpress alongside say wpforo or asgaros etc. – say you are transitioning), then this structure makes sense.

My personal view is that only site admins ever worry about urls. When was the last time you looked at a url for a site you were visiting.

I just visited Amazon, and this is the url I get

https://www.amazon.co.uk/?&tag=hydraamazonav-21&ref=pd_sl_781ozcfkw8_e&adgrpid=52740778523&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=441815611363&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16287605677804181215&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006704&hvtargid=kwd-10573980&hydadcr=13724_2033556&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsvmZmMn27wIVc_bVCh27fwCnEAAYASAAEgLOT_D_BwE

hardly pretty, but do I care one jot – ummmm… no I am interested in content, not the url 🙂
