Subdomain issues? and a few other q's.

[b_heyer]

Hey,
I had subdomains working, but now i read the faq's and it says you can't use subdomains!? If anyone knows if this is true or if I am doing something wrong in the .htaccess file. If this is true could you please tell me if there is some alternative?
Also, I read a post in the announcments and it said form emailers were disabled, does this include the php mail() function?

Thanks in advanced,
Brandon

I use a TON of sub domains on my site with no problem. I think I have 5-6 right now. As far as I know there is no problem with using them.

Could you please copy and paste me an example of whats in your .htaccess file, incase I am doing anything wrong?

Below is what is in my .htaccess file. All the subdomains work great and they are easy to edit.
