Hi everyone,
Having installed the fix (which works great by the way) to run eZ3 on the CGI installation of PHP rather than the Apache module, I noticed that the URL's (nVh mode) go http://www.domain.com/index.php?/something/xx
I thought that search engines can't cope with ? (question marks), so would this cause them a problem?
Cheers
Tim

Tim, most search engines don't have a problem with question marks in the URLs, though some, including Google will only parse so many variables passed through the URL.
You might want to check out the documentation on using "Nice URLs":

In addition to helping with search engines, it provides a much nicer URL for your users. :)
