 * OK! I just went to the CDN tab and clicked “Upload minified CSS and JS files”
   and now it seems to be working!
 * Should I always plan on doing that any time I make a change to the minify settings.(
   ie It won’t automatically upload that stuff to the CDN?)

 * I’m not using that feature. Where can I find it? (I’m on version 0.9.2.4 of the
   plugin.
 * I just changed a couple things on the site, for instance, adding an updated functions.
   php, new JS and CSS call, etc. Everything seemed to be working fine, as long 
   as I kept clearing the cache. (I keep Firefox open and un-logged-in to WP, so
   I can see how it looks to a non-admin user.)
 * However, as soon as I added the new CSS sheet to the existing minify stack (I’m
   not minifying JS at all right now) and saved changes, all styles disappeared 
   entirely.
 * THere is a new default.include.xxxxx.css.gzip file on the CDN, which I imagine
   is the right one. The trouble is that no matter how often I flush the caches 
   and clear my own browser’s cache, the page is calling for a non-existent minified
   CSS file.
 * Hope that makes sense…

 * Thanks for the reply Frederick. Since I posted this I switched to Cloudfront,
   but I am still having issues that seem to be related to W3TC calling for files
   on the CDN that don’t exist. Since I’ve edited the CSS and JS and changed minify
   settings several times, I’m assuming that W3TC is calling old versions of the
   minified CSS and JS, not newly updated ones.
 * Have you seen that elsewhere at all?

 * Thanks for the help. Not bitching, I swear!
 * I’m baffled though. It doesn’t seem to matter which JS or CSS file I add to Minify
   settings. Even if it’s just the Google-hosted JQuery library, I still get the“
   Bad param file format” if I try to view the w3tc-generated JS file. It’s got 
   to be something with the new files created by Minify, no? Or maybe it’s that “
   JS minifier” setting… Should I switch from default to YUI and see if that helps?
   I don’t know what the difference is…
 * Anyway, I tried just one CSS file at a time, then one JS file at a time. All 
   of them fail to appear properly after minification. Obviously, some of them are
   more critical than others (like the main style.css), so the effect isn’t always
   obvious at first glance.

 * I thought so, but… No.
 * I noticed that the Jquery slider in my page wasn’t loading images. And I had 
   CSS minification turned off. When I turned that back on, I got the same un-styled
   page again. So now I have minification off again.
 * And I still get “Bad file param format” if I try to view either CSS or JS files
   generated by w3tc.
 * Could this have something to do with the fact that I don’t use any CDN at all?(
   Never really known how/whether to set it up for the site, so I just leave it 
   disabled.)

 * After doing as you suggested, the [new .htaccess](http://pastebin.com/LTThvSZA)
   now has the lines mentioned in the other post. In addition, two .js files and
   a directory (“b16b5”) showed up in the min directory.

 * Still not working. Here’s a clue:
    When I add my stylesheet or JS file to Minify
   settings manually, then view the page source (in a different browser, not logged
   in) I see the w3tc-generated file. In my case, it’s called “[http://www.pull-start.com/wp-content/w3tc/min/b16b5/default.include-footer.2909374324.js&#8221](http://www.pull-start.com/wp-content/w3tc/min/b16b5/default.include-footer.2909374324.js&#8221);
 * But if I try to view that file in the browser, I get a blank page with just this
   text: “Bad file param format.”
 * Same thing with CSS. Seems like something’s getting screwed up by the Minify 
   process. The CSS and JS files have not changed at all from the versions that 
   were working before the update.

 * Ipstenu – did it remember your old Minify settings? I haven’t re-entered all 
   of my CSS and JS that way, because the plugin seemed to remember the old (working)
   settings from 0.9.1.
 * But maybe that will be the ticket. I’ll try that.

 * I tried altering those lines of .htaccess, and it didn’t solve the problem. Enabled“
   Minify” and got a totally un-styled website, with and without “Rewrite URL structure”
   enabled.

 * OK. I found the correct .htaccess file (thanks Ipstenu), but the RewriteRule 
   lines are slightly different. From the original post:
 * >  Change this line:
   >  RewriteRule ^w3tc_rewrite_test$ index.php?w3tc_rewrite_test
   > =1 [L] To: RewriteRule ^w3tc_rewrite_test$ index.php?w3tc_rewrite_test=1 [QSA,
   > L]
   > Change this line:
   >  RewriteRule (.*) index.php?file=$1 [L] To: RewriteRule (.*)
   > index.php?file=$1 [QSA,L]
 * From my .htaccess, the only lines containing “RewriteRule”:
 * >  RewriteRule (.*) $1%{ENV:APPEND_EXT} [L]
   >  RewriteRule ^([a-f0-9]+)\/(.+)\.(
   > include(\-(footer|body))?(-nb)?)\.[0-9]+\.(css|js)$ index.php?tt=$1&gg=$2&g
   > =$3&t=$7 [L]
 * Any ideas why the .htaccess code would look different?
