You're using mod_rewrite to build those better looking URLs right? If I could just figure that damn thing out I'd be happy! Any hints on what you did?

URL can be seen as additional navigation help. For example, you can look on this URL from russian news site: http://www.lenta.ru/most/2001/11/19/glass/ topic ------------->^^^^ date ------------------>^^^^^^^^^^^ story name ----------------------->^^^^^^^ This provides good visual clue, and sometimes allows faster navigation ( if he likes to see all stories from topic area "most" for november 2001 he will just remove "19/glass" ) Another issue that it's better to not to reveal what's working behind the scenes. BTW, yet another newbie question: Why turbine forces redirect on a new session? regards, ===== Konstantin Priblouda ( ko5tik ) Freelance Software developer < http://www.pribluda.de > < play java games -> http://www.yook.de > < render charts online -> http://www.pribluda.de/povray/ > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
