Mind you, I had to check and see what theme I was using before I said that :) Another consideration: I'm not sure that the Tiga theme is necessarily updated to support the most recent versions of WordPress (I'm using 2.1.2). You might what to check out <a href="http://www.shamsulazhar.com" rel="nofollow">the Tiga author's website</a>. The <a href="http://www.shamsulazhar.com/wp/archives/31" rel="nofollow">last update I see there for the Tiga theme, version 1.0.2</a>, is early 2006. If you go to that previous link you'll see that the author has included some frequently asked questions and special guidance for using the Tiga theme. One of the downsides to using other themes and plugins than those that are included by default with WordPress is that it means you have to keep up with more than just WordPress updates. Each plugin and custom theme also has it's own quirks and update issues to deal with. Fun stuff to keep us on our toes, I guess!

The permalinks change for me, I just seem to lose all CSS style of the Tiga theme. i.e The page loses all the colors and text fonts, but all is there...Any ideas...Sorry to be a pest and stretching your memory. I have looked elsewhere, and searched, but you seem to be the only person who has gotten it to work. When I get it working, I will be more than happy to blogroll you for all your help :) Hmmm.

It has been a while since I did my basic WordPress setup, and permalinks were one of the first things I configured. So I may be rather sketchy on my details here: as I recall, there wasn't anything "magical" I had to do: in the WordPress Admin panel, Permalinks page, I chose the "Date and name based" option under the "Common options" choice; and I edited the .htaccess file in my blog's home directory. The changes to .htaccess were to add some rewrite rules for the URLs: if you look at the same page in the admin panel where you set the permalink options, you'll see the settings that need to be included. Note, however, that if your HTTP server (E.G.: Apache) isn't configured to permit configuration overrides (E.G.: AllowOverrides All), then the content of the .htaccess file may not be processed. Hopefully this points you in the right direction! Greetings, Cube Guy!
