Any takers?
I have read all of the documentation, not once, not twice, not three times but many times- i can't count anymore how many times- and still clean-urls
is not working.
I really need someone with a very clear understanding of httpd configurations to help me.

The issue based on the multiple threads you've chimed in on regarding clean urls is most likely environmental. It's also odd that in one of those posts you're adding drupal's rewrites to an environment file.
While clean urls is a drupal feature, the feature is founded on apache rewrite rules. Issues with apache and clean urls in drupal are typically environmental. It may behoove you to seek out OS specific community knowledge/support. I'm sure there are multiple resources for your specific environment.
Else, if you are looking for paid services, consider moving this post to the paid services forum.
no
i don't need to pay anyone because i work my butt off on doing everything myself and can you please stop following me around on these boards ?
you rarely help but sanctimoniously tell me what i should or shouldn't be doing for etiquette on forums in a ridiculously overly didactic manner.
i am convinced you are just big noting and/or trying to deflate my efforts which i find most annoying, please stop.
i know very well what this is all about for apache rewrite rules- either help or sorry but i'd rather you don't respond.

no one is following you around. your accusations are ridiculous and I'll respond to any thread new/old placed on drupal.org. If you don't want me to respond, don't post. If you don't like my contribution, don't engage with response. In other words exert control over yourself rather than attempting to exert it over others.
I suggest a review of http://drupal.org/forum-posting of which a following will produce better responses.
VM you are a bully
I suggest you do not respond to my threads. Go and bother someone else in the interest of the community. Once things get personally attacking then best to avoid one another. Anyway, I plan on ignoring you from now on.

just because you type it doesn't make it true. you are as free to ignore as I am to respond.

This is a Drupal community. As VM has posted, the issue is with your server environment, not your Drupal install. I realize you want people with a specific knowledge to respond, however you're posting in an open public forum, meaning anyone and everyone can respond. VM gave you a suggestion: pay someone. You're obviously having a great deal of trouble, and if you don't have the knowledge base, and those who do may not want to share (unless they're being paid), then that might be a good option for you to move on past this problem.
Otherwise keep digging, keep trying different solutions. Since it sounds like you've tried quite a few I would suggest getting all your files (.htaccess, httpd.conf, etc) back to default, and try each one again (making sure you're resetting back to default each time). Also you could try asking on Stack Overview, as you might find people there with more knowledge of your server environment (not to mention it wouldn't be a bad idea here to post details about your environment so people reading can give you an actual answer).
pointless
VM from the beginning follows me in threads- every single thread of mine he responds to but rarely to help.
the reason i am now attacking him personally is because he began with "stop your whining" when i suggested
a module should have clearer instructions on how to page. that is rude and so i naturally retaliate.
the pay someone thing is another nasty snide remark and i can tell you people on here have offered others much more than
looking at a bit of code and never mentioned payment. as i said i work very hard at this and so i am insulted by the suggestion because it is does not come from a helpful intention but rather a bitchy one.
END of.
(he sneaks around my testing site too- what for i dunno- VM that is my testing site so i wouldn't bother)

If only you exerted as much energy into your questions when you've asked them.
For the record:
I follow the new forum posts block and my tracker, not 'YOU'.
I never said to stop whining. I pointed out that you were whining in: http://drupal.org/node/1876090 - though subtle there is a difference.
as far as sneaking on your test site, that's another empty accusation. I can't say I've never been on your test site because I've been on many during my time on the forums in which those linked were placed in forum posts. If you've posted it into a forum thread, that's hardly sneaking.

One other thought on why you might not be getting the responses you were hoping. Drupal is very much a community, and those well versed in all things Drupal and active in the forums are less likely to respond to "help vampires". Your post track reads like a vampire - you're sucking all the help and not giving any to others. My post track and VM's post track for example are the opposite. I ask the occasional question when I'm stuck, but I respond to questions FAR more. You might want to spend some time and pass along the help.
if i'm a vampire i'm insatiably new
i only found drupal literally a few months ago not like others years ago.
so i am not ready to help others being so new and certainly would rather no
reply from others than empty ones.
i use forums as a sounding board for helping myself and rarely get help from replies
to my own posts, at least not help that is specifically related.
just by asking questions helps others but what i hate more than anything else is reading someone's
question and seeing all the answers skirt around it !
Yes this is a community and it doesn't equal VM and drupcha and so if you want to keep this going, that's fine but like
any community if someone feels they are being harassed or bullied- best for that individual to speak up.
If you feel uncomfortable with that and would prefer to jump to the defence of the perpetrator then that is your business.

anyone who takes a look at your tracker can view that the above is far from the truth. you are aware that your tracker is public? you expect that someone should take 30 mins to handhold you through issues you've run into, after taking all of 20 seconds to type a question. Rarely do your questions provide enough information about your environment forcing others to have to use your tracker to figure out what you're working in while combing across multiple threads where you leave breadcrumbs of information because you tend to cross post.
if you want to dictate rules for a forum. Start your own. Else follow drupal.org forum posting rules as previously linked multiple times. They exist to help those in the forums help you.
being new is no excuse for vamping.

not to put too fine a point on it, but bull pucky... that's the textbook vampire response when questioned about helping others. You have been a member for 25 weeks (that's nearly 1/2 year) and have 7 pages of tracker posts-- most of which have people actually trying to help you.
You don't actually expect anyone to believe that you couldn't so much as answer a single question for someone else do you?
EVERYONE can help someone else-- i've seen users who've been members for mere days manage to help others. There's always someone who knows less than you or needs info you possess. It's not about skill it's about attitude. And the jig is up-- yours has been revealed, you've exhausted most volunteers' (you are familiar with that word?) good will, and you have no one but yourself to blame.
And when you post your own issue requesting your account be deactivated, I'll be happy to do so.

Don't be a Help Vampire - read and abide the forum guidelines.
If you find my assistance useful, please pay it forward to your fellow drupalers.
got help finally
the programmers at my vps helped me out in the end and the guy said most ppl do learn themselves(as opposed to pay someone or go to Uni) but they join user groups so they can interact with other ppl facing same challenges and doing this kind of stuff is very hard to do on your own.
considering no1 stepped forward to help me i'm not going to bother passing on info but if you are having same exact problems as me then just msg me and i'll tell you what was finally fixed to make it work.
considering no1 stepped
Wow!
yep- that's right i don't
yep- that's right i don't like taking shit and this is not a community i care to take part in so no loss to me or anyone else.
WOW back at ya-

No one stepped forward because no one had any new ideas to tell you. Looking at your track it's obvious you had exhausted most of the posts within Drupal on the Clean URL topic. You blame the Drupal community because they couldn't help you debug YOUR server? Which you never posted any specs for, I'm not sure how you expected info if you don't tell us ANYTHING about it.
Glad you got it sorted, best of luck!

which was stated in the comment you've been throwing a fit over
this is not a community i

don't know how to remove myself
but please someone fucking remove me...this place is a nightmare

you were already told by a webmaster to create a new issue in http://drupal.org/node/1877734 where you tried hijacking another users request with your own.
note: your threads aren't deleted. your account is blocked. you can of course practice self control and not log in.

Me thinks you enjoy a bit of drama. I can't think of any other reason you'd continue to post (or use the site for that matter) if you are this unhappy. Simply don't log back in. It's really that simple. You can browse the site/modules/themes without having to enter the forums.
