If you go to poorshark.com/thepub it doesn't work but poorshark.com/ThePub works on the other hand, will you fix this?

its a fairly easy fix for anyone who has access to the server

Can you tell me how? I'm 98% certain that the original RuneVillage also only worked with "ThePub" and not "thepub", but I'm not against changing it if it's sure not to mess anything up, and I don't actually know this one.

You're right Jaron, it always only worked with "ThePub" I know because it always baffled me that a url even could be case sensitive. But it was never an issue tbh.

Enable that mod requires root access to the server

I find it funny that in the name of that mod, the word spelling is spelled wrong

URLs have always been case sensitive and the forum has always been at /ThePub/.

If you want to have /thepub/ also work, mod_speling is a solution or a mod_rewrite rule that redirects /thepub/ to /ThePub/ would also work. I don't remember seeing many "page not found" logs for the lowercase version in the past though.

Yeah, once it happened the first time I tried /thepub/, I learned my lesson. I figure a lot of Villagers were the same way.

I don't have root access here, sorry! Thanks though.
