Additionally it ensures that forum page listing topics and sub-forums (which actually are nothing but duplicate listings) can be “noindex”-ed yet “followed”. Canonical only boost the SEO further.
Typography
Character comes with beautiful typography, pleasing to the eyes, a minimalist feels and subtle. Not only does your forum and content look more beautiful, you’ll want to use it more and will do better.
Integration

Character does this for you on-the-fly. Without hacking into the core files or installing plugins, you are ready to activate Character, copy and paste the scripts into the options panel and go.
