Another issue since upgrading. I previously had my index.html pointing to:- http://www.avantime-owners.com/forum/about-us
This would take visitors to my site straight to one of my "Basic Pages" within Vanilla.
Since the upgrade the same page url is now:- http://www.avantime-owners.com/forum/index.php?p=/about-us
I've edited my index.html but it won't resolve properly and returns a 404
Firstly why has it changed and secondly how do I fix it please?
Thanks @vrijvlinder but that looks like a recipe for disaster even if I understood a word of it. I've done the line 55 rewrite urls TRUE in config.php but that made no difference on it's own. The htaccess bit, well, I think I'd better stick to less complicated issues until I understand things a bit better. I'll have to find another way. I still don't know whats changed from before the upgrade.
does your .htaccess file in the forum directory have this
# Modified
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
# (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
and does your config.php have this (check your to see if it has typos.)
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

The .htaccess (hypertext access) file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. They are placed inside the web tree, and are able to override a subset of the server's global configuration for the directory that they are in, and all sub-directories.

You need to set up ReWrite URL TRUE in the config.php and also the htaccess
Look at the this for guidance

Just copy paste here your htaccess file and we will get you through, without that change rewrite urls does nothing.

This is mine:-
Original
If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
# (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
# RewriteBase /
change it to
RewriteBase /forum
I also mentioned it in this link ..... http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/203966/#Comment_203966

You need to remove the # from in front of the RewriteBase /
The # is used to disable something

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">in html5 you don't need that.
just

Index.html changed too, thanks again guys.
Please don't take this as any kind of criticism, you guys are awesome but just have a read of this short paragraph taken from http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/25111/about-error-404-not-found#latest and try to imagine you are a total beginner:-
