			<description><![CDATA[As I explained in previous post, you can't completely skip the characters from the long title because of the nature of SEF Advance internal working, being a logic based and not database storage dependent SEF solution. In the on-the-fly conversion the whole article title must be passed in URL in order for SEF Advance to retrieve the article id. If some parts of the title, like punctuation, would be missing from the URL, the program would not be able to find the article. In a DB based solutions the URLs are saved in database automatically and then it doesn't matter how the URL looks like, it can be with stripped special chars, but then it comes with all performance drawbacks. In SEF Advance there are 3 ways to avoid having encoded characters, aka strange chars in URL: 1) Put a replacement for a special character under "URL replace" in SEF Advance configurations. In this example, since you use hyphen as word separator, the regular hyphens are URL encoded. To avoid that you could put something like "-=>_". This way all hyphens that occur in article titles will get replaced by underscores, thus avoiding hyphen shown as "Space Invader" in FF3. Of course, then you can't have underscores in your titles but they are less often occuring. 2) Use short URLs (title alias) setting. Then you are required to always enter a short version of your article title with latin chars only. This is also the best option for non-latin sites like russian, chinese, arabic etc. 3) Define manual alias. Whereever you notice strange URL you can manually enter the alias for that URL and it will be used instead. Of course, this solution is not automatic.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Emir is completely right when he says that this can be avoided. Its something that other people can avoid by learning from our mistake :-) Nowadays we always use the title alias for URLs. We put a really short and sweet URL in there with no punctuation and no extra words like "and" or "it" Emir - could this be avoided for other people by setting the default version of SEF Advance to skip more punctuation?]]></description>
