Okay, this site is probably going to be a worst case scenario of what not to do or what should not have been done in the past. We had someone who said he was an expert in optimizing images and stuff supposedly do his thing and now checking things out I really think we got ripped off. I have tried to do the changes in Ozzy's thread - speed up your site via .htaccess and get an internal server error when trying the last steps. So will put the .htaccess files back to where they were and go from there.
This is the latest test with what is in the .htaccess files.

This is the public/html .htaccess:
This is what the guy has in the /forum .htaccess:
I know there is a ton of images that have to be compressed but want to get the htaccess files set up properly first and then will work on the images, other stuff, later on. All suggestions are welcome at this point. Glad I followed the link on vb.org over to your site, looks good.
Thanks in advance! Kyle
