I am new to PHPBB in general, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have installed phpBB SEO Premod V 3.0.7-PL1 and I am using it in Advanced mode. However, I cannot get URL naming to cooperate. When I change it in ACP > PHPBB SEO > Forum URL Management, it always reverts back to its original state. What am I doing wrong?

Most likely, phpbb_seo/cache is not writeable, make sure that both that directory AND the eventual files in it are writeable by the php user (chmoding to 644 is enough in most case if you're using suexec, 777 will do otherwise).

It was set at 705, changed to 777 still no joy. Could it be an htaccess issue? This entry exists: RewriteRule ^(forum|[a-z0-9_-]*-f)([0-9]+)/?(page([0-9]+)\.html)?$ /viewforum.php?f=$2&start=$4 [QSA,L,NC] and the issue I am trying to resolve is the URL will be similar to http://www.mydomain.com/forumname-f1. The -f1 portion is what I want to remove. As I said earlier, I am newb so please be gentle...
