I have a problem some links which included numbers. If my link finishes by number link changes and get "-a" extension.

For example :

My normal link is : MSHOWTO

My anormal link is : Server 2012

I don't undestand why it gets "-a" extention. I have checked all configuration again and again but i have not any area about this issue.

Do you have any solution for this problem?

Note : Other links which they finish without number are good. No problem.

Regards,

Emre
 
For instance, let's say you have a forum format like so:
[forum_title]-[forum_id]/

And a thread format like so:
[thread_title]/

As far as DBSEO is concerned, the two URLs look like so:
<any character or symbol>-<a number>
<any character or symbol>

Now let's assume someone posts a thread title like so:
New Release: DBSEO version 2

The rewritten URL for that thread would, without the -a suffix, be:
new-release-dbseo-2

Notice how this matches the <any character or symbol>-<a number> rule for forum URLs? In other words, if forum URLs are given a higher "priority" than thread URLs, the rewritten URL would be resolved as if it was a forum, and when visiting that thread you would see forum ID 2 (or an error message, if that forum ID does not exist or is inaccessible).

However, with the rewritten URL including the -a suffix, the URL for that thread would be:
new-release-dbseo-2-a

Notice how it no longer matches the <any character or symbol>-<a number> rule for forum URLs? There is now a character after the number, which means it can't be a forum URL.


This is a very simplified example, but it demonstrates why it's vitally important to make sure that URL formats can be resolved as accurately as possible.
 
Sorry, I wasn't clear: It's required. The modification will not work correctly without it.
