Yeah that's weird - the URL looks correct. Is item id 16 correct in your database?

Got it - you'll see that in JR if you are talking about "category" of items - i.e.
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/blog
or
https://www.jamroom.net/download
What I think we are talking about in this thread is how to handle the page URL for unique items. Every item in JR has it's own unique "detail" page accessible at a unique URL. The problem with an approach like this:
http://mysite.com/directory/word-a-some-id-18-rock-music
(i.e. removing the ID) is that now there can only be one page with that title, and on a large system you can easily have dozens of pages with the same "title" (think names of songs, videos, etc.)
With JR5 we decided to go with the most compact URL we could, by simply using the ID. Other systems (say wordpress) will do something like:
site.com/blog/2014/03/04/02/blog-title
Which I think is messy.
Any way, I think the URLs in JR5 are optimized really well for SEO purposes - I don't believe you will have any issues with your site having your keywords picked up and indexed well.
Hope this helps!

SteveX:I wouldn't actually mind having no way to get there. I never read it and don't post to it - it's just an extra page that I have to load and click through to get to any content.
As long as you don't click on your profile name when already viewing your profile, you should never see it.
However, your followers may want to view your timeline to see what you've been up to

SteveX:Ok, narrowing it down, it's when I'm logged in and I click the Ultrajam link at the top of the user menu that I arrive at my timeline instead of the forum. It does that from any page on my profile.
Yep - this is the correct behavior. An "outside" link into your profile will always arrive on your profile, but once on your profile clicking on your profile name will take you to the timeline (or as Douglas has pointed out you'd have no way to get there).

Shayan:I've noticed that nested folder in url has less weight when pages are cached by SE and was just a suggestion.
Can you clarify this? I'm not sure what you mean here but am curios.
Thanks!

You could add a custom profile field - say "profile_description", then use it:
<meta name="description" content="`$profile_description`">Hope this helps!

Shayan:Is there any way to remove the ID folder we see in the middle of an URL? Perhaps options to edit the urls. i always had better SEO when ever i edited the URL slug in wordpress. something like that would be really nice.
Like Paul pointed out, the ID is required in JR - you're not going to be able to remove it. The URLs in JR5 are setup pretty awesome for SEO in my opinion, but if you think the URLs are not setup properly, you'll need to use something different than Jamroom. The URL structure is pretty much set in stone for JR5 - it can't be changed without changing out most of how the core works.
