Need Mod Rewrite / Reg Ex Help ASAP

[Dravyk]

Thanks, CD34!

Ok, first if you go here (notice this URL isn't SEF'd either) http://www.mainstreamwebmasters.com/...ve&sa=show_all you'll see the categories are fine, the articles are fine.

But go to the bottom of the page and you'll see neither the "next page" link works, nor do the monthly archives links work.

Hmm. Also the link on the front index to the Topics isn't SEF'd, nor on the topics page are the categories or the articles SEF'd -- just noticed that. At least they can be gotten to though.

Again, just noticed the Topics thing, the archives though is the important part.

Again, also, much obliged ahead of time if you can be of assistance, CD34.

Wow..huge .htaccess file.

This is probably over my head, but why does your next article url have a dash?

term-.html

Precisely. It's replacing something wrong.

Btw, I found something important that might help anyone trying to figure this thing out. That is, what are the normal URLs from the program and what is it replacing it with.

So I dug some digging and this is what I came up with:

Original URL:
http://www.phpnuke.org/modules.php?n...ow_all&min=250

Rewritten URL:
http://www.mainstreamwebmasters.com/term-.html&min=250

Original URL:
