A very frustrating part of this fantastic template is the fact that for no apparent reason the front page dies, and results in a 404 error. I have managed to make this happen on a number of occasions and still I can not work out why it does it.

This site: http://head-fi.bestheadphones.com.au/in ... Itemid=219

Works until you visit the front page here: http://head-fi.bestheadphones.com.au

All I did to make it happen is to remove the unwanted default JOOMLA articles, and then the unwanted category and section entries that are installed with the site. None of the items I removed are being used in the site as far as I can tell...

CAN SOMEONE FROM GAVICK EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HOW TO FIX IT - I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS WORKING ON THIS SITE ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

ALSO - WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE THE DOCUMENTATION??????????

why do you use a subdomain when the main url is not built? and you're using K2 Menu, for a home page? where is your home page linked to? do you have htaccess turned on, or SEO, friendly URL? it appears not.
