beernews: yes, that’s what pretty permalinks look like. Looks like the options in trunk are now:

None   …/forums.php?id=1

Numeric   …/forums/1

Name based   …/forums/first-forum

It used to be “none, true, slugs” which correspond to the above options in order. I’m not sure if they’re on by default when you install the latest version. There was talk of creating the mod_rewrite rules automatically when turning permalinks on (like WordPress does right now), but I’m not sure if that happens automatically or not yet.

But, with name based (the old slugs option) I think the links would be pretty good for SEO. The slugs might still contain stop words or otherwise be too long, but, they’re still pretty good.
