I upgraded one site to 5.3 and it looks like everything went well. But then I also installed a new 5.3 on another server. The new install has almost perfect URL's.

The upgrade still has unsightly technical jargon (tabid/795) in it. Not a big deal to me, but my users are starting to navigate via url and this is hindering them.

Have I missed something in the upgrade or do I need to change some new setting?

Upgraded sites do not automatically switch to "human friendly" urls. You can easily make the change in the site's web.config:

1. Find the following section in web.config:

<friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]"  />
      </providers>
    </friendlyUrl>

2. Add the highlighted attribute:

<friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]"  urlFormat="humanfriendly" />
      </providers>
    </friendlyUrl>
