Hello Sekhmet,

First of all, your .htaccess should look something like the this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?username=$1 [nc]

It sounds like you are having an issue with saving the extension of .htaccess. I find it easiest to use a shell when editing my .htaccess file. Try using a different FTP utility to upload the file.
