[3.3.3] Several Issues, please help

My b2evolution Version: 3.3.3

Hi, my install of b2 is doing pretty well right now, I am happy overall and getting around 2,500 unique visitors a day with little complaints. I do have a few small issues that are getting to me and I haven't figured out how to correct.

1) My URL is currently: http://farmvillefanatic.com/index.php and when I change the base URL to http://farmvillefanatic.com/ it works, except all my posts still retain the /index.php and so give 404 pages when you click them. Anyway to update them all at once to the new URL's? SOLVED

2) When inserting an image from the file manager, is there somewhere I can change it so it doesn't insert it with the whole div class and link? I just want the plain old <img src=" tag and nothing else.

3) The Code button does not seem to apply, it just adds the code tags around whatever and doesn't function. So it would look like this: *code*image displaying*code* instead of actually showing the code. For now I am using the plug-in Code highlight which works and does even more, but I would still like the basic core one to work... Or is there a way I can disable that button since the new plug-in does it already? I just don't want my bloggers using it since it isn't working.

4) I have seen on other b2 blogs comment boxes a basic editing bar for bold-ing, text colors and such, where can I find this to enable it? SOLVED

5) On the Manage > Posts / Comments page is there any way to adjust what is shown in the Assignees and Authors lists? My page is getting pretty long since there are over 100 members on my site, of which only 5 are bloggers and would be the only ones I need shown regularly. If not might I suggest a drop down box or collapsible list in the future? SOLVED

I hope I can get some help on these issues. Thanks in advance! :D

Answer to your question 1):

From backoffice > Blog Settings > URLs tab > Blog URL section > Blog Base URL, select 'Relative to baseurl:' option, and keep the text input field blank.

@ iceblock: Doesn't do anything different than Absolute URL. It updates correctly, but not posts. All my post titles when clicked just bring up a 404. It changes them to not have a /index.php in the link, but the posts themselves are clearly still at the /index.php.

@ tilqicom: No such option I can find at all. I will check the other answer for the admin interface option soon though. Thanks.

So any ideas on the URL change?

They 404 because you remove index.php and there *is* no file/folder

Add the following to your root .htaccess

# Redirect anything that's not an existing directory or file to index.php:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^  index.php

I figured something would be wrong with that link, lol :)
Any idea where to get the plugin though, John?
I have it, but can't find where to get it any more.

Oh, too bad. John would have been easier than copying your username.
Oh well.
Sorry for that, ¥åßßå :)

Sorry, am no great help in that other stuff.
Am just now toying around with a mirror blog for the first time so I can screw stuff up without killing my main site ;)
Hope someone else will be able to help.

I'm getting:
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Thoughts?

I upgraded from 2.4.1 to 3.3.3
