Question Topic not showing but URL indicates that it is there

Take a look here: www.energyfind.co.za/index.php/forum/rec...-Welcomes-and-Hellos !

If you click on any of the topics, they don't open. If you hover your mouse over the title for a preview, the preview will show. The URL does show the requested destination but it just doesn't show the topic.

Ideas?

Looks like some kind of SEO/SEF issue. Are you using a third-party SEO/SEF product?

No I don't have any third party SEO/SEF... just have the Joomla SEF setting on.

It still looks like a SEO/SEF problem to me. Please check everything in the guide Search Engine Optimization (SEO) . If necessary, replace your existing .htaccess and htaccess.txt file in the root directory (as discussed in that article). Make sure you don't have any other .htaccess files located elsewhere in your website folder structure.

Thanks for the help so far. Sorry for the delay but I have been away on business. My .htaccess looks as follows:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mydomain.co.za/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ - [F]

########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits
## If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
## This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
#
# Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(\%3D) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to base64_encode crap to send via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
# Send all blocked request to homepage with 403 Forbidden error!
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]
#
########## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits

I have been playing with the SEO settings without success. What I do notice is that no matter where I click, it will always show the "Recent" topics even though the URL shows otherwise.

Any suggestions?

Your .htaccess file is not a standard Joomla .htaccess file. That's your choice and I respect it. I only know how to do things that work for me. I use the only standard Joomla files in my work.

I cannot help you any more with this issue if you choose to not use a standard Joomla configuration.
