Question Not forwarding to the right forums

[Tricksodave]

Hi Guys

Really like this product, but we our having trouble with some of our forums sub forums they just don't forward you into them. It totally has me beat. I also have external links form a sponsor forum showing up as 403 forbidden url's

Are you using forum IDs in your forum URLs? If not, do any of your forum names match a directory on your server, that may have a .htaccess file in place?

Thanks that was it, I now have set the forum urls to forum_id

Is there anything else that would be causing the 403's in the external urls

If the external site being linked to has problems, once your forum has redirected to that site errors may appear.

Which forum id? The first one or the 3rd?

Define "[forum_path]"
This setting lets you define a variable [forum_path] for usage in the below URL formats.

[forum_id]
[forum_title]
forum[forum_id]

Please start your own thread, as this has been marked as fixed.

Thanks!
