A B C Nav Menu

Please see this:
add a.b.c nav menu in specific forum - vBulletin.org Forum

I'm not sure what happened, but this suddenly stopped working for some reason.

All of the letters are redirecting to the home page.

Letters are linked like this for example:

Code:

http://www.talkjesus.com/scriptural-bible-answers/&letter=h

Forum:
Talk Jesus | Christian Forums & Chat - Powered by vBulletin

If I disable vbseo plugin and rename .htacccess to .bak, it works.

Have you made any other changes? upgrades in vb or vbseo?

No, but I just noticed this today as I was browsing. Always used to work otherwise.

Only change I made is .htaccess as requested by one of your guys last week in a thread here. I'm using copy/paste they provided me.

I just found the problem traced to .htaccess

So whatever of the techs told me to copy/paste and my original htaccess was oudated, caused the problem. I replaced it with my original and it works again.

But, I need help tracing what line(s) is the ones that make it work.

Working version:

Code:
