I think the 'newestpost' should be rewritten too because it's still showing the php file for that. This plugin needs some updating to rewrite everything instead of just bits and pieces....

mod rewrite doesn't handle db lookups, so it would not know the name of the thread by the url itself.

something would have to be created in php itself. it would need to read the url and make a query if the pattern matched showthread.php.

I haven't read through this entire thread so I appologize if this has been mentioned, but I noticed that the 'whos online' area will not display correctly if a user is viewing a re-written thread.

It just shows 'viewing thread' without the link below it. You can tell they are viewing a re-written url by hovering over the question mark.

I've got a idea as alittle workaround for the WOL-Problem:

Couldn't you take the inforamtion, displayed in on the questionmark and parse it to the Line below "viewing Thread: " ?

You can see it by the URL which Thread it is and its mor comfortable then waiting for the alt-tag on each single user..

Ditto. This hack breaks any user's preference as to how many posts they want per page, and does all at 10 posts per page :(

Hello Dean

If I install this mod but later decide to uninstall it, is there anyway to modify the htaccess so that any mod-rewritten pages indexed by google still find their way to the correct thread?

Any known problems with this hack b4 i install?

Does anyone know how to do this please?

The latest version does no such thing, I use 40 posts per page based on my preferences - the most recent beta was/is available on the teckreviews site mentioned in earlier posts.
