I had uploaded the htaccess file, yes... how can I find out if it is enabled or not, and if it is disabled, is there anyway to activate it?

Also, is there anyway to mod this to urls like username.forumurl.co.uk ?

No, there isn't any way to do this as it requires some very abnormal changes to the DNS entries and some changes to the way your webserver works as well. 95% of shared hosting providers won't make those changes.

How do you disable this option ???

edit your installation settings and set mod_rewrite to off.

Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/z/install/manager.php?cmd=settings (to to /zadmin.php then to "edit installation settings"). At the bottom is the mod_rewrite checkbox. Checking or unchecking turns it on and off.

sorry, i'm talking about the zoints profile on my site

I'd love to give this mod a try. I see that it makes database changes. Does it actually change the vb database tables or simply add new tables to the database? If I need to do an un-install, what would I need to do to return my vb database to its normal/prior condition?

Thanks. -- Rik

It only creates NEW tables. And we provide you the choice of installing in the same DB your vBulletin is installed in or a separate one. To return everything to its previous condition, we have an automated uninstaller too :)

That's weird. Logout on your Zoints profile and see what happens please.

um, is there any way to get the search and community features to not go to an external site? very unprofessional imo..this would be an awesome mod if it could be adjusted to not use the zoink.com externalities.
