 ==== Force full sub-domain for listings? ====
-Setting **added in version 7.4.0**, previous versions will not have this option.
+Setting **added in version 7.4.0**((See bug 1014)), previous versions will not have this option.
-If this option is enabled, when a visitor goes to a specific listing, it will make sure the sub-domain matches the region for that listing, using a 301 redirect.
+This check-box will become available when [[#Sub Domain Usage]] is set to **enabled**.
+If this option is checked, when a visitor goes to a specific listing, it will make sure the sub-domain matches the region for that listing, using a 301 redirect.  This can help with SEO as it removes any duplicate content that may happen otherwise.
 In addition, if the SEO addon is enabled, the SEO addon will include the full subdomain in all re-written links for individual listings.  This applies to everywhere that the SEO addon would normally re-write the URL, including the RSS feed.
+<tip c w>**Warning:**  Turning this on will make the visitor automatically select a listing's full region when they view a listing.  This may not be expected by the visitor, if for instance, they are browsing listings at the top level, click on a listing.  After that point, any pages they go to will be filtered by the region set for the listing.
+Because of this behavior, we only recommend turning this option on for sites that are primarily "region based" where your visitors will typically want to only view listings "close to them".</tip>
