Is this something I need to pay for for an add on? If not, how do I go about generating a sitemap and SEO friendly URLs exactly? Is there a thread that walks through these already?
Thanks!!
Is having a sitemap only possible by buying a add-on?

Control Panel > Primary > Enable Friendly URLs
Enable Friendly URLs
Enabling this function will generate URLs that are easy to read and include words that describe the content of the webpage. This allows most search engines to easily crawl your forum, and also allows for specially formatted URLs.
Note: The PATH_INFO environmental variable must be available for this feature to function properly.

The treatment of requests with trailing pathname information is determined by the handler responsible for the request. The core handler for normal files defaults to rejecting PATH_INFO requests. Handlers that serve scripts, such as cgi-script and isapi-handler, generally accept PATH_INFO by default.
this means that the default setting is normally ON. which is whats being requested for this feature to work.
