What is the algorithm / method of gzip? I had enabled gzip and it works fine, but the only problem is that it is changing profile links but when clicking on profile links it gives 404 error. Any manual edit to fix that? because it was working fine before. and for all other links. but the only problem with profiles.
Turning gzip on shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on the url scheme. The code looks like this though:
if($mybb->settings['gzipoutput'] == 1) {
$contents = gzip_encode($contents, $mybb->settings['gziplevel']);
}
It just uses the usual PHP gzip_encode function on the contents
Then what is the reason that, only profile links are not working (giving 404 error), as this would be shorten using gzip as
http://community.mybb.com/user-21114.html
But the normal links works fine for profiles
http://community.mybb.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=21114
My question is, how is that , I mean a part of website (user profiles) links are not set using gzip.
I'm going to guess you have a problem with your .htaccess file. Please post it's contents here. Enabling/Disabling gzip should have absolutely no effect on issues with URLs.

Well thanks it was my htaccess file. I wonder how did this happen. i.e. the lines in mod_rewrite.c have been deleted. Which I guess the plugin does (page optimizer)? anyways this is what I have to add and its working fine now. btw thanks for your idea

Well, that's why you're having issues - there's no rewrite rule for user profiles. Take a look at the htaccess.txt provided with the MyBB download to get the rule.
But this arises a question, does a plugin is capable to edit htaccess? because every thing (gzip) was working fine before i active
this plugin
Depending on your chmod settings, a plugin can modify core files rather easily. Also, that plugin was last updated in 2008, so it's likely quite out of date.
is there a way to protect htaccess ?
You can chmod it to 644 and I believe that should help
