The underscore should never be used as it is not a 'joiner'. Fusion_Authority is a single word meaning nothing while Fusion-Authority is two words that may or may not go together. The thought on the + is due to search engines using it in place of a space when putting a search term onto an url. As for older browsers, I'm willing to lose the .0001% of visitors who are stuck on IE 1. :) > From previous (untested) research, I would recomend using a (-) over and underscore (_). I've never thought of using + but I reckon it could have qwerky results maybe to do with the fact that plus signs are used when searching quite frequently. > > Also, I think there may be problems with some old browsers reading urls with %20 so I wouldn't use them. > > Haven't a clue about double spaces but personally I'd stear clear as I think it would make it harder to read and just lengthen it for no particular reason. > >
