I know I can use SEF URL's - but i'm integrating Amember in on my membership side of the website, and it clashes with SEF URL's with joomla and the .htaccess file - so I have to have SEF URLs disabled.
Having SEF URLs disabled - makes the URL's in the address bar look nasty.
I'm sure there's a way somehow to make your .com stay in the address bar the whole time the visitor is navigating.
While I don't think that having the standard Joomla URLs is particularly nasty, you could put the whole site in a frameset with only one frame. This would make the URL stay the same while navigating... but then, you would lose the ability to bookmark particular pages.
What about using just the standard Joomla SEF URLs. They aren't too bad or is Amember clashing with that too?
