Hello, Im having a problem with thread and profile urls looking messy compared to what they used to.

For a profile for example the url is mydomain.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=1

whereas I want it to be mydomain.com/user-1.html

and the same with threads, I have mydomain.com/showthread.php?tid=1&pid=1#pid1

But i want mydomain.com/thread-1.html

anyone know how to fix?
If you haven't yet, rename htaccess.txt to just .htaccess without an extension. Then make sure you have Search Engine Friendly Urls enabled. Admin CP->Config->Server & Optimization Settings. it is the first setting on that page.

I did what you said and it did work. However, now I get I a '404' not found error everytime I click a thread or member profile?
Make sure you have this in your .htaccess file:

No. Still not working
Can you please post the contents of your .htaccess file?
Get the plugin Google SEO.
