truncated urls

Question

Hi

I noticed that even if I truncate the URLs (of this Q2A forum) the page still displays.  I think it should give error 404.

This is the correct page:

http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/make-extra-field-as-textarea-thanks-for-your-help

And these are the truncated urls:

http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/make-extra-field-as-textarea-t
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/make-extra-field-as-texta
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/make-extra-fiXXXXXXeld-as-texta
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/makeXXXXXXX-extra-fiXXXXXXeld-as-texta
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/m

Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

Well as far as I have analyzed, q2a looks for only question number.

Even using http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130 will do the job.

So, q2a will load question #61130. Rest of the URL is just for the search engine.

Hope that helps!

Indeed, the following url still gives the same page:
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/61130/hello-there-my-dear-friend

Joomla used to work like this, then they changed the routing system:
