Show your Support for Clean URL's on Voices.

Many of us have made mentionings of specific url structures that should be improved. This thread is aimed at making all of ES to use Joomla's standards which will create friendlier url's. ES's url structure is great on some pages, but so so on others. This ought to be addressed sooner rather than later to prevent linking complications as well as SEO reasons. Simpler is better for a number of reasons (better sharing, less text to store in DB, easier to read, better SEO, less likely to change, ect).

According to the voices section, this is accepted into ES 1.4. I take it things got a bit too busy. So is this planned for ES 2.0?

Hey Mark, the voice page that was assigned to you for it being included in ES 2.0 disappeared. I know this was due to a past glitch with the voices section. So do you mind re-assigning it to ES 2.0? I re-posted it a few minutes ago: http://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial/item/1019

Hi Josh,

Thank for adding re-post into our voice page. I will add this into our feature tracker for ES 2.0 milestone

Thanks again for your suggestion
Have a nice day and wishing you a great weekend

Does it need to be assigned to someone on voices as well?

In case you want proof of this being assigned in voices in the past, view the voice archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20151015190708/http://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial
Hit control + F and paste the following text: "Cleaner URL's through All of EasySocial".
You will see that it was assigned to 1.4.0. Mainly I'm just giving you evidence to backup what I said earlier about it being assigned to a milestone.

I know that. In the past the voice page was assigned to someone. So does that mean that a voice page could be placed on the internal issue tracker but not be publicly assigned to a staff member at the same time?
