I have two .htaccess files.....one in the root and one in the forum:

Root:

#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^gridironfans\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://gridironfans.com/$1 [L,R=301]

####Charset
#AddDefaultCharset Off

####Gzip
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
#RewriteRule ^(.*)(js|css)$ redir.php?file=$1$2&type=$2 [L]
#</IfModule>

####ETags

#</IfModule>

#ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

Forum:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^gridironfans\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://gridironfans.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^rss/([0-9a-zA-Z_\-]+)/ zointstags_external.php?do=tag&tag=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

<IfModule mod_security.c>


</IfModule>

Am I supposed to have two different files?
