Ykies! A little too much holiday cheer at the Christmas party last night. If anyone is ofended by the humor I can delete it. Sorry!
But, I just wanted to chime in here and say that when I installed SMF, the SEO function and the '.htacces' file were already on. Everything seemed to work ok. I had to turn on the 'friendly URLs' in the SMF admin control to get them to change. But, I'm not sure about switching the Joomla SEO function to on 'after' SMF is already installed. I've never tried that.

I have and it gives "Page Not Found Errors" in the SMF forum
Not the kind of holiday cheer I was hoping for! 
But I really do need to get it to work!
