Sorry only ASCII characters are supported by the SEO Title.

For Turkish you should disable "Page Titles in URL" from the SEO page in the forum admin area.

I have the same issue, but with Greek characters.

Is there a technical reason you do not allow that? There are other forums that provide URL rewrites for any language so I was wondering if you can just point me to where I could investigate and enhance this.

I believe that the problem was at the time it was developed that many browsers could only handle URL's that used ASCII characters.

The function that creates the URL Rewrite page names is called 'SeoUrlTitle' in the 'functions_filters.asp' file.

By restricting the characters to ASCII characters it prevents the forum from being hacked as it also strips out any dangerous tags from being included in the URL.

Related to this subject, it would be preferable if page_link_inc.asp would create the SEO formated links instead of the ones with the parameters, by incorporating the SeoUrlTitle function.

Not all links can be configured as they can pass a large range of different data. Page links is one of these.
