ive originaly posted my problem here:
http://community.mybboard.net/thread-64938.html
but it seems since this is the plugin thread it would be better to have that discussion here.
Can anyone help me out on solving this problem, its the only thing preventing me from using mybb
Thanks
heres a "snapshot" of the prroblem:
im test driving mybb before going live, ive installed it with the google seo plugin, everything went smoothly without errors but whenever i go to a forum page ou click a link thread from the index page i get a 404 page, that didnt happen before installing the google seo plugin
this is the test forum
http://www.ricardouk.com/mybb
this is the .htacess mybb is using:
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

frostschutz suggested adding RewriteBase /mybb after Rewriteengine on like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mybb

RewriteRule ^([^&]*)&(.*)$ http://ricardouk.com/mybb/$1?$2 [L,QSA,R=301]
