   Sorry, but that's the best way I could describe it. Wierd. Just see for yourself!

   An even stranger part is that it works from within the web server's network. But it looks like that if you try to access it from outside of the network. I'm actually using lifeisarainbow.uni.cc to forward to jubbensnet.ath.cx:8080, which is my network using dynDNS.

   If you click on any link, it goes to http://192.168.1.50:8080/page.php ....this is where I go to access it from within my network. How strange! I guess it has something to do with that 'Page/Blog URI: ' option field or what ever. If I change that to http://www.lifeisarainbow.uni.cc then it just makes all the links to http://192.168.1.50:8080/www.lifeisarainbow.uni.cc/page.php ....again, this is very weird.

   Thanks alot for any insight!

   Hmm.. what do you have?

   When I go to http://www.lifeisarainbow.uni.cc/page.php
   I get a page telling me "PX1" and

   When I go to http://www.lifeisarainbow.uni.cc/
   after some hesitation on 192.168.1.50 I get a "Life is a Rainbow" blog but without any theme, i.e no layout, no styling.

   You already gave the explanation for it:
   I'm actually using lifeisarainbow.uni.cc to forward to jubbensnet.ath.cx:8080

   The two URIs (WP and Blog address) are stored in the database and every link, e.g. the link to the stylesheet's directory, is using that path, so obviously attempting to access the site from outside - will not find the stylesheet. What you see is an un-styled blog.
   The same thing happens when people try to host it themselves and leave the two URIs as "localhost"...

   That's terrible! Is there any fix for this? Is their an earlier version of WordPress that doesn't pull this shit?

   phpNuke worked just fine, but WP looks so much nicer. :-)

   Redirects always screw the pooch. Redirects are bad for a lot of reasons. I'm not aware of any way to fix it, sorry.

   I got it!

   Set both those URI loccation fields to just http://

   Cheers!

   Hmm. Wonder if that's host-specific? Didn't work for me, which is why I stopped using redirects at all....
