My old .htaccess (the one that works) is as follows:

Thanks for any help you all can give!

Only minutes after my original post . . . .

For me, this problem disappeared once I had updated the Adhesive plugin – even though the old version of this was deactivated at the time of the problem.

Hope this is other people’s problem too.

I have exactly the same problem, having upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0.3. Is any progress being made in resolving this?

If there’s any connection, I’va also had problems with updating permalinks – posted in a separate thread
