I am using joomla and on my business directory some categorys are multi page. The first pages have nice urls (http://www.myurl.com/component/option,com_bizdirect/catid,5/Itemid,99999999/)... The following pages URLS are not nice: http://www.myurl.com/index.php?option=com_bizdirect&catid=5&Itemid=99999999&limit=10&limitstart=10 Now, I could live with ugly URL's, but the problem isn't just the ugly URL's, its the fact that if I copy and paste the url into a new window, the url is invalid. why doesnt the second url get affected by mod_rewrite like the first? If I set mod_rewrite wrong, when I do set it, will the urls work? Thanks guys, and sorry if im a noob.
