[support] Issue with multisite url creation for edit forms action parameter...

[Tao Starbow]

I am using clean urls, but I turned them off to see if that fixed the 
problem & it didn't.
I have not adjusted my .htaccess file.  I have spent some time reading 
conflicting advice about what RewriteRules to put into the .htaccess 
file when doing multisite. The impression that I went away with was that 
you were supposed to change the rewrites if you are doing multisite 
under 4.5, but you left it alone for 4.6.  I guess I should look again.  
Can you suggest a good node on the subject?

thanks,
