Well it seems absolute links are a bit better for search engines, but its the relative part to be the most important if you are using keyword injection in urls ( one more keyword occurrence in the pages html code after all ).

The thing is, adding the full url can raise the page's weight up to 30% heavier.
So I am thinking of this for the phpBB SEO mod rewrite update, but I'll leave this as an option, for those with bandwidth issues.

I'll give you the code as soon as I'll finalize it
