 * Hi, I’m trying to pass a variable in an http string but I am having trouble with
   the pretty permalink structure.
 * When I use the default permalink, when clicking a link to reload the page and
   submit variables, my code echos adds ‘&action=’ to the pages url and it passes
   the variable correctly..
 * but when I turn on pretty permalinks, it adds ‘&action=’, but then rewrites to`
   www.example.com/pagename/?action=` which does not work…
 * Any help?
