Mod Rewrite

[Slash95]

Hey guys, came accross a small problem.

I have set up my phpBB forum with mod rewrite, all works fine, apart from, whenever i go to,
http://myforum.url/forum_name/
it redirects fine, but then changes the url back to
http://myforum.ul/viewforum.php?f=4

Is there any way to keep this page as the /forum_name/ instead of viewforum.php?f=4

Any help would be much appreciated

Can you show your rewrite rule -
you need to have [L] in there somewhere, but easier to comment if you
post the relevant rewrite snippet.

 

[useless]

is it just with this page or more ?

Thats the code I have so far. seems to have the [L] tags already. :td:

Any other ideas?
