osc2nuke7x4 Category Madness!?

It shouldn't create any problems that way. Yeh the file you sent me was from a standard Oscommerce install. Or at least it looks like it is. Strangely enough it is the same version ID though.

Be nice if the osc2nuke package had an updated header on any (I'd imagine all files are changed) altered files.

does ftp mode need to be set to binary? Looks like many files are being uploaded in ascii

Thank you very much problem solved. 1000% improvement into total "site friendliness"

It was interesting I've followed the development of the various oscnuke packages off and on its nice to see that this one at least is maturing so nicely. As far as features it really is a better nuke then PHPNuke7.4 ever was.

I concur

in my limited experience with this software, I have found that this version provides a good balance of feautures, SEO, ease-of-use and security. I thank you and the entire community for supporting free software.

Do you have any advice with regards to google? I was indexed two days in a row when I first installed, I then used a feature in the admin (osc mod not nuke) called google position which purports to determine google position (rank) for your key words. The app ran for 10 or twenty minutes and appeared to "hang" . The next day I search google and see that they now have two month old Title, description and cache of my site and googlebot is nowhere to be found. Have you ever heard of scaring away robots by attempting to run an auto query of search engine?

Shut compression off in jpcache that might make a difference. But really give it 4-6 weeks and check it again.

One other thing that would help tremendously is to get rid of the session id in the urls.
There are a couple of methods I'd check on the oscommerce forum for the latest scheme for not showing the session ID to bots.
