I thought it was a permission problem with the .htaccess file but that wasn't it (it's readable, writable and executable by all).</p> <p>My second question (or comment): The friendly URL would be MUCH friendlier to search engines if it was moved up a directory level, so the URL looked like: YourDomain.com/file-name/ rather than YourDomain.com/postcards/images/file-name|1</p> <p>Is there a way to reconfigure that URL so that it is simpler?</p> <p>Thanks! I really like the app so far. </p>
