What’s in your .htaccess?
It’s quite long, I have some stuff from the W3 Total Cache install. This is why I am wondering if the problem is from that install.

Okay, step one is turn off w3tc 🙂
OK it seem the problem is from W3 Total Cache, when I deactivate it from the network, everything comme back as it suppose to be. This give me a new problem, the site is very slow and I really need w3 total cache because it was solving my issue. Could I try to activate it not from the network but from each individual site?
Or do you know of any other plugin of the same kind that would not bug the multi site ?
Also, I would like your opinion, I always felt that multisite was the best way to build bilingual webiste. I don’t like to rely on plugins for that. Do you have an opinion about this, is there another better way to build bilingual website?
I tried WP-super cache, it does not seem to improve the speed as much as the w3 total cache but it is improving it a little.
I would like to find a way to use w3 total cache on a network but if you know both plugins, maybe you can tell me your opinion about it.
The worst is on google chrome, it is too slow, unacceptably slow. I need to find another solution or use w3 total cache which seemed to performed better then wp super cache.
W3TC has a new version which can be network activated. Which version were you using? I use it all the time and it’s always worked.
I was using 0.9.2.8 it must be the latest one, since I downloaded it from wordpress.org a week ago.

0.9.2.8 came out 9 days ago 🙂
Also it became much easier on people when upgrading if they deleted and started fresh. But it does work on Multisite.
Maybe I should try to re-install it then ?
Yeah, clean out the cache files in wp-content entirely. 🙂
What do you mean ? and how should I do that ?
Delete ALL the w3tc related files.
There are files and folders it puts in wp-content. Delete them.
