That worked for the ones who could not sign in, but now I can't sign in to admin in the forums again.

How about if you logout and back in?

ROFL, thanks, now I don't have to sign in to the forum admin like I did before. Think I am going to have to put you on the contacts as Staff lol.

Thanks again,

This is a final update on the issue I had with version 4.8 of SEF Advance, it is now supposed to be working correctly. Below is the reply from Emir:

"This issue has been resolved now.

The problem was not that SEF Advance stripped POST variables, the problem was that SMF bridge was sending the form to an URL without trailing slash.
And, as you might know, SEF Advance redirects all requests without trailing slash to the URL with slash to create default directory server behavior.
Then, when sent to a new page with slash, POST variables were no longer present and login would fail.
Everything can be fixed by adding the trailing slash to the URL in SMF Bridge action form, but I decided to even put the fix in SEF Advance so such URLs are supported for posting. So I added a redirect prevention if POST variables are sent.

If you download the latest version (4.8.1) you will find this issue fixed. You can just replace files:
./components/com_sef/sef_incl.php
./administrator/components/com_sef/sef.xml

Thanks again for all of your help,
Hag

You can tell Emir I said thanks for the fix.  I can't support putting trailing slashes on bridged URLs, because that breaks some of the URLs for SMF.  The bridge actually strips them off before sending the output to avoid problems.
