I tried removing the profile.php?user= and leaving /$1 and the links change on the homepage, but when you click profiles it comes up with page not displayed for the profiles.

thankss to who can help.

you could make it so it includes in index.php
so the address bar weould look like

www.domain.com/?profile=1

That's exactly what he doesn't want...

he wants it to be www.domain.com/1 or www.domain.com/profiles/1
something like that.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^\/]+)/?$ /profile.php?user=$1 [L]

try that, im not sure it will work :s its just in the status signature script it has that extra slash in, and that seems to work? so im not sure, just give it a go :)

nothings different, it just changes to blah.com/username/ but the page is still page not displayed.

try deleting it all and writng:


INSERTUSERNAMEHERE[PLZ]

Your server does have mod_rewrite enabled yes?
