so to clarify =

it's .HTACCES. NOT .HTACCESS

note the double 's'

Absolutely NO joy..

Ok here's what I have =

filename = .htacces

RewriteEngine on

  # Send hardcoded ipa scores to arcade instead
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade [OR]
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade
  RewriteRule ^index.php arcade.php [L,QSA]

filename = .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
# Send hardcoded ipa scores to arcade instead
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade [OR]
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade
  RewriteRule ^index.php arcade.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Still not working, I also have a folder named htaccess too...

it goes to this page which is not found on my domain or forums = http://www.******/index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore

It was working perfectly fine until the update and now I have had to fiddle away to get this far by fixing and playing, yet now it's almost done I am stuck when submitting scores - it goes to a 404 job.. unknown page.. * frustrated and bangs head on desk *

Once again thank you very much for the help so far.
