It will shorten the URLs for the boards/posts etc, making them more SEO friendly - so making them easier for the search engine robots to read and therefore help your SERP (Search Engine Ranking Position).

Oh, that seems reasonable. I'll enable that once my server starts working. everything is running slow.

Not running vforums on my server, it's just pointing to it. I meant as in, all my images, etc are hosted on my server, and everything is down, so it's taking it awhile longer to load, even if I load to the vF link, it's still loads slow, as it's trying to download images that are not there.
