Ehmm, can I have your version of the .htacces?<br>
<br>
I mean how does you normal preview look?<br>
<br>
I don't understand the /xerte/preview<br>
<br>
The difference should be the ?(.*) before the $ and the &$2 at
the end.<br>

tries to load preview.php and play.php, but it doesn't add any
sizes to the url, like the xerte play and preview do.<br>
<br>
<br>
The issue with .htaccess and xerte preview is that now you can
have url parameters added to the .htaccess urls, like
play_126?engine=other, and the rules don't handle the
?engine=other properly. I sent a fix for Ron to try by PM,
because I couldn't send anything to the list for some 30
minutes.<br>
