And Welcome Very Happy

Hum, this is what is supposed to happen with the phpBB advanced mod rewrite, hyphens should be used as separator.

Check if you are using the original format_url (in include/function.php) code, and eventually post your code for it here.

Then, I see that you installed the dynamic meta keywords mod, but you forgot to fill the default settings in the mod's code :

Well, as I told you, hyphens should show up, I am not sure what could cause this to happen on your board.

Actually I cannot guess without more information's.

First make sure you installed the mod correctly, then, as said, make a double check on the format_url function in session.php, where the hyphens should replace spaces.

The problem is here, no one ever had this particular problem, even using UTF-8. This could still be linked to a char-set issue, but you do not seem to use any fancy standards here.

Ho, but I just understood you are not using a phpBB SEO mod rewrite, then It's normal Laughing

just uninstall the script you where using and install the phpBB SEO advanced mod rewrite instead, it will do the trick you want Wink

Sorry I was really wondering what could cause hyphens not to be injected as there is no reason why it could, it's just not my mod lol
