This mod will remove session id's (SIDs) for you phpBB forum which will make it spiderable by search engines





includes/sessions.php 





$SID = 'sid=' . $session_id; 





if ( $userdata['session_user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ){ 
   $SID = 'sid=' . $session_id; 
} else { 
   $SID = ''; 
}

But will users stay logged in? They must have to use cookies then.

That's correct, registered user's must have cookies enabled to stay logged in.

Yes, users will stay logged on, even text based browsers such as Lynx store cookies these days and don't require them on the URL string.

I've set this up on several phpBB forums, PostNuke sites and osCommerce stores with zero problems.
