Hi, I am running a Joomla site with jfusion integrating SMF into it. Anyway what happens is somewhere along the lines the URL is directing to http://silvertails.net/forums/board,2.0/ which is the desired URL that I want, but for some reason this does not work unless i change it to http://silvertails.net/forums/index.php/board,2.0/ I want to basically get it to work without the index.php in there. My .htaccess is below, can anyone think of how I may be able to get this working? ## # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 14401 2010-01-26 14:10:00Z louis $ # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2010 Open Source Matters.
