I think it's worth testing this mod for a better forum experience here at Money On Computer. Hopefully I will have the time to get it up and running today, once a round of site backups are complete.

This would put more weight on relevant and keyword rich topic subject headings. And as keywords in topic headings are great for a forum who is ranking in search engines, this would be a good thing for posters to consider when creating forum topics.

*EDIT:

Precise Similar Topics 2 is now active! You will now notice at the bottom of topics, other topics with similar subject headings listed. Let me know what you think of this addition guys.

Hopefully this will also increase page loads, due to the relevant topic listings being provided by this awesome mod.

Best regards to VSE and all other mod contributors @ phpbb.com

Big spike in pageloads today LoL! It's a good addition and I'm glad it's working well with appropriate relevant results. Have had no sql or php function issues with the install so it's looking like a good addition that will stay.

Currently the similar topics settings are to show up to 5 keyword relevant results. It's 100% working as desired at the moment so once again, well done to the mod author!

Thanks genie, and that's good I'm glad it did that! So was the topic that caught your eye also directly related to the topic you were viewing? I'm quite impressed with the relevance of the results being produced.

it was called "creating a list of similar sites" - so i can see how they would be relative :)

That is a very good post by streakanime, I had read it a few times before adding the mod lol.. 8-)

Also, with the same visitor numbers to the site, pageloads have more than doubled.
