Urls in forum threads.

If I go to any forum and click on a thread, I can see a link like that:

http://www.mojoportal.com/ForumThreadView.aspx?thread=893&pageid=5&ItemID=7

As far as I can see, link

http://www.mojoportal.com/ForumThreadView.aspx?thread=893&pageid=5

produces the same result. What is the last parameter used for?

P.S. In some cases forumid is also included to the link. Is all that optional?

Re: Urls in forum threads.

ItemID is the forumID, it is used so that it can be passed to other pages like ForumPostEdit.aspx and also I think used for breadcrumbs in forums.

Re: Urls in forum threads.

When I just delete both forumid and itemid from the query string the page title is set correctly. I suppose the forum is determined from the thread.

Why having these parameters in the query string in this case?

The less parameters you have the less is the probability that incorrect values can cause something bad.

Re: Urls in forum threads.

I answered this question correctly the first time. ItemID is used in some cases whether you see it in the page or not. In some cases it is needed for correct redirecting.

I don't want to do uneeded changes here that may introduce bugs. I have many more interesting things to put my attention on, the ideal of reducing query string params in a feature that is working fine is not interesting to me at this time.
