Hi
Thanks again.
Just using the default built in Joomla SEF urls.
I just tried creating a menu to joomla login, clearing cache and I can still get to the joomla login via that new menu url but when I try logging in I get a red error box saying about sessions and browser cookies etc.
Ive removed that menu now and will stick with the 301 redirect in my htaccess until i get time to install a fresh build of CB on a test domain to see if it works for me out of the box.
thanks for your help
