    New forum link goes to site root

    Hello,

    I created a new forum today, and the link for it is being written to the root site instead of to the correct location. If I manually type in the URL it works.

    The forum is here: Felt Poker Forum - Poker Strategy , and the forum not being rewritten correctly is "SNG Icons Forum" under the Tutoring section, about halfway down. The actual URL I would expect to seeis here: Felt Poker Forum - Poker Strategy. , and indeed if you click on this it will take you to the correct place, so it's just a matter of vbseo not generating the correct link on the forum.

    Is there a cache I need to refresh? I don't remember having to do it before. I recently overhauled the site and moved the forums to a subfolder on my site, and had to 301 a lot of my links, but everything was working fine right up until now.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Nevermind, I fixed it. I found that the setting "Force Forum Root as Homepage?" was turned on, so I turned it off and that seems to have fixed it. I don't really understand what that does but everything seems to work now.

    edit: well, now I really don't know what happened because now I realize that made the index.php show up so I had to turn that option back on, but now the forum still works correctly. Is there a Time-to-live on new forum urls? Weird. Anyway, there's no problem now.

    vbseo is real-time.

    it might have been your browser caching.


    Note: i clicked your link, and noticed your forum is closed to guests. vbseo will do you no good if your forum isn't open to guests, because search bots are guests.
