 * Hi Guys,
 * I had been with WP for some time, here is a problem that does not seem to resolve.
 * URL friendliness :D, I install WP from Godaddy, I love WP and every feature of
   it. In fact most of friends now use WP on their sites. I helped everyone setit
   up and work with it, but my own websites [Adrenalinerider.com] & few others wont
   work the way other guys use.
 * I kept wondering why no answers, same problem with SMF as well, when i use pretty
   URL 🙁
 * This is not first installation of WP, i had re-installed several times thinking
   that there might be some bug but no, it just does not seem to work.
 * Permalink is almost useless for me as of now, any solutions for this guys ?
 * Or does it have to do with Godaddy users ? coz seems like some of us have similar
   problems on same services from godaddy
 * Please suggest some solution here,
 * Thanks in advance,
    Faiyaz Sultan

 * I’ve been using GoDaddy for over 10 years, and for over 2 with WordPress.
 * Changing the permalinks from the default to any other custom version DOES work–
   you really just have to wait a few minutes for it to all resolve on the server.
 * Trust me – set them to your “pretty” version and load up your page. Click around,
   get your “404” errors, and then go grab something to eat.
 * When you come back, it should all be resolved.
 * If for some reason it takes more than half an hour (which it’s never taken for
   me – usually less than 10 minutes), there may be other issues with your hosting
   setup, or your installation. But for me, time and time again, it’s just a matter
   of patience. 🙂

 * Oh my goodness — thanks for this! It worked perfectly as a fix to my own problem!
 * I had no idea it was a GoDaddy delay!
