You may find that the url looks like this format:

`yoursite.com/t/{this-might-be-your-topic-title}/{topid_id}/{post_number}?xxxxxxx`

In fact topic-title has no effect. So you can safely replace it with other non-empty strings. Query parameters can also be deleted safely, such as…

`yoursite.com/t/-/{topid_id}/{post_number}`

If your post\_number is 1, then it can also be deleted…

`yoursite.com/t/{topid_id}`

Shortened!
