try this one do save the other one just in case

[lukescotty]

hmm, uploaded it, but it hasn't changed it - http://www.talknightlife.co.uk

reckon its the vbseo settings ?

[ForceHSS]

have you tired it without the htaccess file delete it see if that is messing it up

[lukescotty]

still doing the same without the htaccess file... should I upload the original?

[ForceHSS]

yes, and it looks like it is the vbseo doing it. Is the vbseo the paid one or the one from here but i think you could redo that htaccess file as some parts of it look wrong but if you have the paid version of vbseo u would be best asking over on there site

[lukescotty]

yea, its the paid one, I went on their forum and posted a thread, but it might because its Sunday that theres not many replies. (I've uploaded the orignal htaccess)

Thanks for your help though ForcesHSS, I very much appreciate your time & if I get to the bottom of the problem, I'll hit u a message

Thanks again

[ForceHSS]

happy to help I hope you get it fixed. If it is giving you a lot of problems I would disable it but only if it is causing a lot of problems

[lukescotty]

::bump:: sorry for the bunp guys, but vbseo.com arent helping and I think someone on here will know what to do. Cheers
