[bbDev] Re: bbDev Digest, Vol 16, Issue 6

bbPress does not use mod_rewrite normally. I wrote those rewrite rules so
servers without the Apache function (I don't recall the name) bbPress
normally uses. I have the latest revision running fine with pretty URIs on
http://thefreezer.org/forum/ (Apache, cPanel).


Has anyone else used these successfully?
