Your host probably doesnt support rewriterules. I think you should contact them.

- Check if you uploaded the .htaccess file;
- check if your host uses Apache and supports mod_rewrite;
- eventually you need to set RewriteBase in .htaccess to your forum's path.

I use this hosting company and here is what they say about url rewrite:

I don't know what they all really mean.
and yes I've uploaded the .htaccess file

You probably need to set RewriteBase to your forum's path (URL), as it's commented by default in the .htaccess file.

For example,
RewriteBase /UseBB/

Note the line isn't commented (no # at the beginning).
