	Also what is the url to the mail up console. I just installed a new computer and all of my favorites and bookmarks are gone and nowhere in the backend of product does it provide the url to get to the mail up site.

	For instance this is the way the url is displayed now for the category Pet-Products. http://www.ablackhorse.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=434 With version 4.0 will this category display url be: http://www.ablackhorse.com/productcart/pc/pet-products Edited by earlyimp - 24-November-2009 at 12:21pm

	The URL will be similar to that (it would be http://www.ablackhorse.com/productcart/pc/pet-products-c434.htm), assuming you setup your server to handle that feature and turn the feature on in the Control Panel. Again, see the documentation for details.

	No. That's how the system identifies the category or product that you are loading from the database.

	The only way to get what you want is to host your site at a service that offers ISAPI Rewrite, then to build rules that accommodate that URL structure. We (and others) do offer that program on our servers. I will be the first to say, however, that I really find ISAPI Rewrite a giant pain. ISAPI rules, and internal code modifications were coded by a SEO team into www.maximumsecurity.com last year before we redesigned the site. Working around the ISAPI stuff probably increased project time 20 percent and makes maintenance a chore. I strongly endorse just using the SEO mod as mentioned above and only using ISAPI if you really find that you are not getting the desired results. By following this guidance your future upgrades will be easier and you will retain stock code - thus keeping your store eligibe for support. The more you alter the code, the more that EI will not be able to support if you have issues. Please consider the stock SEO functionality before you start changing things.

	My question is simple: When we upgrade to version 4.0 and activate isapi is there a means to do a 301 redirect for all of the indexed pages in the search engines so we don't lose our indexing they have already done on our old url's
