    I've been trying to figure out why the AJAX doesn't work in the Extension manager to enable/disable extensions. The page being loaded is /settings/?PostBackAction=Extensions. I noticed it's loading (or trying to load) js/ajax.js, etc. however /settings/js doesn't exist. /settings.php?PostBackAction=Extensions works fine.

    Can anyone confirm that this is happening to them too?

    oops...

    In .htaccess replace:
    # Prevent some little bad effects of Friendly Urls on relative links in some
    # extensions
    RewriteRule ^(discussions|categories|search|post|settings|people|[0-9]+)/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^(discussions|categories|search|post|settings|people|[0-9]+)/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^(discussions|account|search|post|[0-9]+)/.+/(extensions|themes|images|ajax)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^(discussions|account|search|post|[0-9]+)/.+/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]

    Another problem - it doesn't seem to work here: http://support.vanillahost.com/discussion/1/testing/ javascript url: http://support.vanillahost.com/discussion/1/testing/js/ajax.js (the "big input" doesn't work, just refreshes).

    Though it's working on this forum? Hmm...

    I replaced (extensions|themes|images|ajax) by (extensions|themes|images|ajax|js) on line 3 and 7 but forgot on line 5. You need to add "|js" (I just edited my previous post, it should work fine now).

    On this forum, the link might be "/community/js/ajax.js" and not "js/ajax.js"

    I'm still having problems with your new rules. Here's my entire .htaccess, copied to htaccess.txt:

    It must be a problem with the rules line 16.

    Changing the order of the rules should solve this problem. Put RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(extensions|themes|images|ajax|js)/(.*) $2/$3 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^discussion/([0-9]+/){1,2}[^/]*/(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php) $2 [QSA,L]     before the line 16.

    Thanks, that works ... Another problem, when signing up it links to the terms (from /people/?PostBackAction=ApplyForm) but it gives a 404 (/people/termsofservice.php).

    There three rules with "(account.php|categories.php|comments.php|extension.php|index.php|people.php|post.php|search.php|settings.php)" you can add "|termsofservice.php"

    Are these posted rules newer than the ones in the Friendly URLs add-on? I'm struggling to get Polls to work.

    it fixes one problem with Polls, but you still can't edit a Poll. Spode came up with a solution here http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=81287

    Would anyone care to offer a fix for the blog extension?

    http://domain.com/extension/category/1/?PostBackAction=Blog
    is the URL, but it throws a 404 error with friendly URLs turned on

    Is anybody still active on this forum? I know I'm not, but I am creating some new forums and hope to use Vanilla as it's the easiest to set up, the most secure (or maybe that's due to it being OBscure), and the friendliest to learn.

    I've just started trying to use friendly URLs as the latest forum is intended for mass public audience, so it needs to be SEF.

    PlayGod - not the answer you're looking for, but BlogThis works with Friendly URLs fine. I vaguely recall I adjusted the rewrite rules to work - the same rules may well work with Blog.

    There appears to be extra stuff in the URL--

    Just a guess, but what happens when you take it out, like this: http://domain.com/extension/?PostBackAction=Blog
