    Exclude certain forums?

    Hi,

    On our Forum we have a Marketplace that is split in 2 sections. The problem we are having is that the subforums in these sections have the same name. Example:

    forum:
    Soldin Marketplace
    -Buying
    -Selling
    -Trading
    -Appraisals

    forum2:
    Foriel Marketplace
    -Buying
    -Selling
    -Trading
    -Appraisals

    The problem we are having is that the the Buying links both link to the same section, (/forums/buying) Is there a way to exclude these forums, or to make the urls... /forums/foriel-marketplace/buying and /forums/soldin-marketplace/buying.

    We tried to exlcude that pages /foriel-marketplace/ and /soldin-marketplace/ however this did not help as the links point to /forums/buying/

    It seems that the urls would be written that way as they are sub-forums. Anyway if this is unclear please let me know.

    the forum is LuniaFan | Lunia Online Forums | Lunia Guides

    We currently have it setup and it works by adding an s to the end of the subforum names... buyings, sellings, etc. But would rather keep it as buying, selling.


    EDIT: For now we have disabled the Forum title rewrite, and it works fine...however I would rather have that option on. So any help would be great. Thanks!
