Homepage Forum Posts Links Invalid, 404

Im guessing this is going to be a rewrite issue, but I can't find the solution:   On my site dolphin homepage, I have the standard Forum posts RSS block, which is loading the latest posts correctly, but the problem is that the link on the topic is invalid.

The link written as --> http://www.mysite.com/orca/topic/Topic-Title-Here.htm

which returns a 404 error

And the correct target for the topic should be --> http://www.mysite.com/orca/#topic/Topic-Title-Here.htm

How do I get the # to be written before the 'topic' in the URL for the feed?

If I could find a setting to turn off permalinks (SEO links) in the orca forum that creates this feed - Im guessing that would be a quick fix... how do I do that?

Thank you

yes i believe you are correct. this is an htaccess problem which causes the mod_rewrite problem

Found the answer myself here: http://www.boonexnerd.net/dolphin/orca/?action=goto&topic_id=466

Here is the fix:::

Open:
Yoursite.com/dolphin/orca/inc/header.inc.php

At the bottom of the page you will see:

$gConf['rewrite']['cat'] = 'group/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['forum'] = 'forum/%s-%d.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['topic'] = 'topic/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['user'] = 'user/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['rss_forum'] = 'rss/forum/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['rss_topic'] = 'rss/topic/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['rss_user'] = 'rss/user/%s.htm';
$gConf['rewrite']['rss_all'] = 'rss/all.htm';

That is where you add the pound sign (#)

For mine I had to change:
$gConf['rewrite']['topic'] = 'topic/%s.htm';
TO
$gConf['rewrite']['topic'] = '#topic/%s.htm';
