Hi,

I've just installed phpBB SEO Advanced mod Rewrite for my forum.

But I cant figure out how to write the correct isapi rewrite rule.,

I've searched this forum, but I can not find the answer.

The test site is at http://www.sunset7.co.uk/forum/

this is the.htaccess that they specify in the mod:
