when I enable this option in the primary settings, I can't get past my portal page.. I click on forum list and it always takes me to the portal page.

Generally this will occur when your host doesn't allow the path_info php variable in the configuration.

Lack of configuration knowledge? Not sure, it's not really considered a security risk so I don't know why anyone wouldn't have it on...

I sent my host a request for it.. hopefully they won't give me any crap about enabling it.

I would like to think that considering how long I have been with this host (12 years) that they would enable it as long as there is no valid security reason not to.

Well, true... Though a lot of hosts don't really care about their customers (which is a real shame, every client should be treated like family vs a payment)

my current host used to treat me better... when they first started up I was one of their first customers, the guy was running the business out of his house.. could call any time.. gave me his pager number if I ever needed something after hours..

he gave me extra storage space for free, helped me with scripts and other stuff... then he mysteriously died.. his wife took over, company moved its server farm to NY, and their customer service took a dive, but it seems to have improved again slowly... I have never had a problem with them that they weren't able to fix.
