Ok long version:

1) I use modrewrite extensively. The folders I use do not exist at all. For example:
   http://www.clixnetwork.com/products/traffic-exchange/
   There is no folder "products". You don't need to create one.

2) I downloaded the zip with eblah in it and it doesn't have those options.

3) I'm hot, humid, hungry, and just want it to work with mod rewrite but I may just do it the old fashioned way and ping you.

i've got the mod_rewrite working, and everything is hunkydory if you go to http://www.smallcarsbighearts.co.uk/soapbox/

However, if you take that last '/' off it shows information in the address bar that i don't want people to see.

Any ideas what is going on?

Also, after adding this mod, when people registered the link in the e-mail to validate their address didn't work, so i updated the forum url in the admin settings, but couldn't put a forward slash on the end, so had to go into one of the files (can't remember which one now!) and edit the code. Just thought i would mention it in case other people had the same problem  

ta muchly!

Adding Trailing Slashes
If your site visitor had entered something like products/12, the rule above won’t do a redirect, as the slash at the end is missing. To promote good URL writing, we’ll take care of this by doing a direct redirect to the same URL with the slash appended.

RewriteRule ^products/([0-9][0-9])$ products/$1/ [R]

Multiple redirects in the same .htaccess file can be applied in sequence, which is what we’re doing here. This rule is added before the one we did above, like so:

RewriteRule ^products/([0-9][0-9])$ products/$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^products/([0-9][0-9])/$ productinfo.php?prodID=$1

Thus, if the user types in the URL products/12, our first rule kicks in, rewriting the URL to include the trailing slash, and doing a new request for products/12/ so the user can see that we likes our trailing slashes around here. Then the second rule has something to match, and transparently redirects this URL to productinfo.php?prodID=12. Slick.

I've been doing some research on mod_rewrite and here's something I found that might help:
