neither one worked...locally or live.

(i can remember pulling my hair out years ago with godaddy's caching on php.ini files when i was building a large file uploader and trying to set params; *I thought i read somewhere, recently that they stopped caching such things php.ini, .htaccess?)

btw: I never quite understood the "query_string" method. I could never get it to work even locally; not sure why. And to be honest I can't understand why anyone would want to use that method regardless... I thought one of the greatest parts of using CI was in its implementation of pretty, SEO, pages
