@Michael A. Lowry - We are working with the vendor on readable URLS that move away from message keys and will benefit the Community in SEO as well. Again, there is no release date from the vendor's product team. ~jm

Any news on this? I see that some items now have partly semantic URLs.

This is the URL to the discussions forum of the Water Cooler community:
https://community.broadcom.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer?communitykey=f92efc9f-0875-4c00-ad19-f20b3185f059&tab=digestviewer
This sort of URL is not human-readable and does not give any indication of nature of the linked-to content. This pattern is typical of the new Broadcom community site. URLs rely on long hexadecimal identifiers rather than descriptive slugs.
Semantic URLs (a.k.a. Clean URLs) would be highly preferable.
