This a very weird one...

 

Fresh install of IPB3 and when I enable .htaccess with:

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ipb3/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /ipb3/index.php [L]
</IfModule> IE stops displaying the page correctly. (FireFox Opera just fine)

WITH: i44.tinypic.com/35b8j80.jpg

 

WITHOUT: i42.tinypic.com/kbra5i.jpg

 

NOTE:

 

Removing the . from "RewriteRule . /ipb3/index.php [L]" and page loads, but the SEO does not work correct.

 

I'm going to assume that for some reason its causing IE to maybe incorrectly pull css?

 

The other thing is, ALL the html code is generated and shown correctly in the source just not being rendered correctly...

Move the file into the ipb3 folder and after you do that remove the ipb3 from the file.

 

You'll have this:

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Failed. kept redirecting to the index page but thanks. :/
