This is a module for translation of metahtml files. It was gobling up the digits passed within the URI. My quick hack cheks to see what byte we are on when processing the req->uri if it is < 5 (which would be 3 digits ) then it just returns the req->uri 'as is', otherwise it goes through the rest of the module. I dont know if I have the liberty to post this module, but I will find out. If you close the report, I will just mail it to you dean. This is totally unsupported , I know, but if anyone else is using this module this will hopefully save them some time. Since it will produce unperdictable results on sites that use numbers as directories. Thanks again for all your help, and sorry if I wasted anyone's time, namely yours Dean :) later, aaron
