Hi André, without having asked the shop team for reasons, only some wild guesses: - base64 might blow up the amount of data stored - md5 encoded links will probably all have a defined length, while base64 is variable length -> performance might decrease

Hi folks, due oxseohistory table is a growing blackbox, wouldn't it make sense to use base64_encode instead of md5 for generating idents in seo table? This would make it easy to make historical links visible because there is a decode function for this. In current oxseohistory table, the only possibility to get the former SEO-Links is to play "man in the middle" and track and store any call that goes to oxseohistory. Would you generally agree with my suggestion to use base64 instead of md5 for seo idents or do you see any problems here?
