I am just glad you are okay and am pleased Rob could help.

Sometime later, if you want to think this change through in preparation for v 1.5, I am certain we can figure out how to keep your site exactly how you want it with the module flexibility and the standard code. If you want help thinking that out, let me know. BUT, for now, I am glad you are all okay!

It is never fun to have *huge* change *forced* upon us quickly.  :P But, RobS saved the day on that!  8)

As a new user, I recognize the efficacy of such a decision. And, as Amy & Rob have so meticulously pointed out, if this has been an inherent problem for so long, we end users should be forward-thinking enough to respect the vision of the dev team to address such a course correction. Especially before the 1.5 release, and regardless of the inconvenience. I also believe, however, that "fair warning" should have preceded  or accompanied this release. In my opinion a forum post doesn't qualify as such a warning a bundled readme would have been more appropriate.

One of the primary reasons I'm in the Joomla camp right now is because of poor documentation/communication in another evolving CMS camp. The other reason is because I haven't seen the J! team hiding behind the GPL banner every time they make a decision that is controversial. The final reason is a great product!

I have not been around here lately as the old version was basically a little over four months old and decided to check in on how 1.5 was going.  I am glad to see the new update as 1.5 is not ready to go yet.

I did read through the posts of those having troubles or complaints with 1.0.12 and did so only after noticing one file that stuck out strange to me in the patch and that is the "install.php"

Should that be deleted?

I decided to throw caution to the wind when I noticed RobS' replies and his quick work around should the new way not work for me. The upgrade was a breeze and I have no issues at all with the way Joomla is running. Great job Rob!

As for the .htaccess, I somehow got a short version of what I had before, my previous version was one RobS had wrote, I am not sure what happened with my new one but will post what I currently have as it is short and somehow I think it only has the change in it and that change is found on line one.

Is the .htaccess I have ok?

TIA
