The forums were acting up for a few members. The reason for many of the bugs and broken threads was due to a URL rewriting component I had. What it would do is turn something like this:

www.massivefps.com/index.php?option=com_...o=reply&catid=38

into this:

www.massivefps.com/Cache-versus-SEO.html

The problem is that it had a caching component also, which means a "photocopy" of the URL is kept in the database. Problem with this is that if changes are made the site still reads the old "photocopy".

What I did is just plain out removed the URL rewriting component. Although it gave us MUCH better search engine ratings, a site that is not working is enough to turn away any potential returnees.

*sigh* I miss it already though.

well , my huxley post is working fine right now ... but I think the old system is cooler ! so you might get it back with an announcement about the broken URL issue

I've installed the latest SEF extension nad it seems to be working great so far. If I start getting more complaints again I guess I'll have it skip the forums and reinstall it with the next update... again.
