Actually this isn't correct. Older browsers always supported longer than 3 digit file extensions. It was the servers handing out the pages to the browsers that couldn't handle .HTML extensions because their file system supported only 3 letters.

I was using the first versions of Netscape and Mozilla on Windows 3.x without any problems fetching any file extensions. You could always tell when you were visiting a Windows server verses a Unix box because of the 3 digit extensions.

HTM or HTML has always been a non-issue.

I like it, but for some reason when I click a link on my forum home going to a post it will show the html link, but when I load the page it stays html, once it fully loads it reverts back to php. That's the only time it does it. If I load it from just going into a forum category and selecting a topic it works fine.

I love it though it's way better than VBSEO, because on VBSEO if you changed to it and google indexed your old links then when someone click a old link on google they would get a 404. Anyway this way both the php and html links work, but html is default. Nice job! *Wishes he could install multiple times*
