Hi Emir,
Thanks for your help on this. I wouldn't mind avoiding sef links for the smf forum but the real trouble is that from some reason even if you select in sef advance to ignore the bridge component it still put sef links inside the forum itself and gives 404 errors.

therefor, someone who runs sef advance can't run smf bridged and vice versa. as a site owner you have to choose if to run sef links or smf which is a hard choice as long as their is no really a good forum to joomla.

Emir,
I think that the reason is another dot in the url
http://www.babyhold.com/option,com_smf/Itemid,38/topic,7.msg9#msg9

Hi Emir,
Thanks for the quick reply.

But i'm sorry to dissapoint now there is not problem to enter the forum. however when you click on a messege title such as this :  http://www.babyhold.com/option,com_smf/Itemid,38/topic,7.msg9#msg9

you will get a 404 again.

Emir Hi,
I installed the last version of sef advance on my site (4.9.3) i use Joomla 1.0.11 and Ortsio's bridge latest version that is on the SMF site.

The problem is that i can't enter the forums
m using the forum in unwrpped mode so when clicking on the forst forum on the list it creates the url : http://www.babyhold.com/index.php?option,com_smf&/Itemid,36&/board,1.0

which of course is incorrect it should be
http://www.babyhold.com/index.php?option,com_smf&Itemid=36&board=1.0

the only way for the forum to run with the bridge is to disable sef advance , which of course i don't want.

Please help
