Permalinks and .htaccess

   I can't seem to get the Pretty Permalink Type setting to work. When I change it to name based, none of the pages threads/forums/etc will load. After some reading, it seems like I need to make an htaccess file and fill it with some rules.

   Are these officially provided anywhere? I found some in a thread from a couple years ago (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-1) but they don't seem to work. What exactly do I need to do to make my permalinks work?

   Silly me, a few more minutes of searching and I turned up an answer:

   Or, the FAQ here:
   http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

   Note, for people who cannot get this to work on a 1&1 server, you need to put this at the top of your .htaccess file:

   Options -MultiViews

   The Options +MultiViews does not work (IME) at 1&1, so in addition to creating the rewrite rules manually as in the FAQ, you need to DISABLE MultiViews to make this work. Worked for me.
