Not really sure what those last two posts were about, I'm referring to getting www.domainname.com/username to work WITH Open SEF. I can get the mod rewrite to work without Open SEF, but once I turn OPEN SEF on, it goes downhill, I've tried every combo I can think of. I know it can work because I've seen it working at www.mybeatshop.com, Jeffason's site. What in the Heezy do I have to do to get this working?

This works very well, thank you !

Hey below is my .htaccess, when i type in ww.mysite.com/name all i get is the index page?!?! quite frustrating... would be greatful for any hlep or ideas to fix it

Got it!

1.) Joomla-Administration --> Turn SEO on
2.) Download htaccess.txt from your /root
3.) Put this code into the htaccess.txt

4.) Upload htaccess.txt to your /root
5.) Rename htaccess.txt to .htacces

That's it! You can access now to the user-profiles with "www.yoursite.com/username"

Tested with:
> Joomla 1.0.11
> CB 1.0.1

Getting the basic one to work was not hard for me, but I still can't get it to work with OpenSEF, yet I know some people have, like mybeatshop.com made by jeffason... How did he do that?!?!?

Hum. I noticed, I have another problem. I got an index.html as my mainpage (intro page).

After login to my page, the system redirects me to this index.php instead of the index.php
