I used the test link to see if PATH_INFO style URLs would work, and it did, it took me to the home page. After enabling it in the admin section, and switching to a PATH_INFO template, I still only see the home page, no matter what link I click on.
Am I missing something?

Yes, I am using the path_info template set. I created a new template, called "Basic" using the path_info template set.
If I did not use that template set, then the links would still point to ?foo=bar rather than /foo/bar
It looks more like enabling PATH_INFO did not have any effect, yet changing to a path_info template set did.
Kind of like having a shiny car with no engine.
I would not be surprised if I missed something else, so feel free to post other ideas that might be newbiesh, since I am, after all, a FUDForum newbie.

Well, you have a default theme. In that theme there is path_info template set, you need to select that and save changes. once that's done click on "rebuild theme" link.

I guess where I'm getting confused is if the template is actually converting the links to PATH_INFO URLs, then wouldn't that mean I did it correctly and the template has been rebuilt?
So if I go to my forum homepage, and I click on one of the subforums, it takes me to:
http://forums.geekons.com/index.php/f/5/
But, when the page loads, it is simply the home page, even though the template directed me to the PATH_INFO URL, and even though I have set the forum to use PATH_INFO URLs in the general config.
I would not be surprised if there is something that my host is doing that prevents this from working properly, where would I look to find the code that interprets the PATH_INFO URL into variables? Maybe my server's mod_rewrite or traceback functions are configured in a non-standard way?

When I go to your forum, the URLs that are used still look like index.php?foo=bar etc...
This means that you are NOT using the path_info theme.

Correct, I had to disable the PATH_INFO templates otherwise my forum would be unusable.
I'm not really worried about it anymore, I'm just not going to use the PATH_INFO feature.
I am using other scripts, such as "Gallery2" that use similar techniques, so I know the concept works, I'm just not sure about this implementation of it.
Either way, people are used to seeing things like ?t=post&reply_to=32977& and it is only an added bonus. The forums work great, and I don't need the path_info feature, so I'm going to just chalk it up as another odd "feature" of my web host. (the host was just bought out, and the sites were recently migrated to a new location, so I'm still getting used to the odd quarks here and there)
Thanks for the efforts in helping, but I'm sure it is just a configuration no my host's end. Definitely not worth focusing on unless a lot of other people have the same issue, and it doesn't look like they do.
I'll stop being lazy and poke around a bit to see if I can figure it out. If not, no worries, it is still an awesome forum!
