URL shortcuts to threads - sarbes - 2015-08-14
Could you implement URL shortcuts to forum threads? This feature would be handy if a user wants to look up additional information about an add-on/skin. It is also easier for users to submit bugs. This could prevent a lot of unnecessary threads. I have URLs like this in mind:
kodi.tv/help/$TID
kodi.tv/h/$TID
...which redirect to the related thread:
forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=$TID

I really don't see the benefit of having shorter URLs if you are still going to use the thread id's, it only looks a bit better, and does not add any functionality.
I might do some rewrite magic on the display at one point, but it would be forum.kodi.tv/t/$TID or something similar, never kodi.tv/t/$TID
I will not do cross-domain rewrites between sites hosted on different servers.
