I am trying to use
<span style="float: left"><?php next_posts_link('← Next') ?></span>
<span style="float: right"><?php previous_posts_link('Older →') ?></span>in my index.php. Paging works great unless the user has drilled down into a specific category, then paging always returns a 404.
Ok, I've deduced that this only happens when permalinks are set to something other than Default.
Anyone?

Did your .htaccess file update without any error after changing from the default permalinks?
Yes. I have the permission on the file set to 777.
yes

Ahhh... if that is your exact code,
<span style="float: left"><?php next_posts_link('← Next') ?></span>
<span style="float: right"><?php previous_posts_link('Older →') ?></span>Possible missing semicolons issue?
<?php next_posts_link('← Next'); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link('Older →'); ?>Are they necessary in this case?

I read somewhere that you should "set up a page which uses the category as template". Doesn't make sense at all, though... but if it's true, what name shouls the page have, and what more do I need to know to make it work?

Ignore my last comment.
Apparently, until now, I had this URL format (example):
http://trendgiveafck.com/street-walk/
when paging turneed on the site wanted to go to
http://trendgiveafck.com/street-walk/page/2
which led to a 404. But if I added "category":
http://trendgiveafck.com/category/street-walk/page/2
I came to the correct page. So, I in the admin panel I went to
Settings->Permalinks and set the field "Category-base" to "category"
also checked my hard links in my meny to go to "category/street-walk/" instead of just "street-walk"
Problem resolved!
