Under SEO I have...

Use category names in URL set to yes
Replace spaces in category names with _
Name to use for threads: thread
Format for link details rewriting: details/{LINKTITLE}-{LINKID}.html
Rewrite member list, profiles and help items? no
Use only lowercase? yes

When going to a category it only rewrites the cat ID, not the name.

Also, I have a background image on a table at the top of the page. The background shows fine on the main page (http://www.worldofdogs.co.uk/) but not on displaylinks or details pages (http://www.worldofdogs.co.uk/131/)

In the wrapper template I have: <td background="templates/default/images/headerbk.gif" >

When viewing the source of those pages through my browser it only has: <td background="templates/default/images/headerbk.gif" >, so is missing the full url, which is why it will show on the main page. Yet all the other graphics on the page show correctly.

PLEASE NOTE: there is no space in the above line before gif - this forum added it :-)

Categoryies with characters which are illegal in urls can't do name rewriting.

Make your image url absolute, you don't want a relative url when categories are subdirectories.

Edit: Seems I can't type that template variable which represents the templates directory in the forum, even though I remember fixing that bug a dozen times.
