::Problems with the rewrite functions in .htaccess made some pages inaccessable, see [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Community_Portal Community Portal]. If we can restore the short URLs we will, if not we will have to keep the standard long, ugly mediawiki URLs.  [[User:John Stanton|John]] 10:52, 9 February 2007 (PST)

:::Oh.

==PrettyURL Problem==
Sorry to be a pest about this, but I feel the need to emphasize that at the moment this little tech glitch is a quite serious PR issue: The top google link for WikiIndex is broken by this, and gives the naive user the impression that the site is down!  Can we at least make the 404 Not Found error auto redirect to a working homepage, or even just change the contents of it to include a working link to the homepage?--[[User:69.87.199.67|69.87.199.67]] 06:55, 15 February 2007 (PST)
: I agree with you totally but I have been unable to find a solution to the problem if you have one I would love to hear about it! You can see the problem on a new test wiki I have set up at [http://www.myrailsweb.com myrailsweb.com]. Glad for any help anyone can provide.
