Thread: Links

  1. #1

    Links

    I noticed an issue when it comes to links. Whenever the directory "forum" is added in the URL, it redirects to the home page of the forum instead of to the post or thread itself. For example:

    http://rapbattles.com/showthread.php...=1#post8753640
    - This link works fine and goes to the intended post.

    http://rapbattles.com/forum/showthre...=1#post8753640
    - This link does not work and redirects to the home page.

    I noticed that for a few people's feedback links, they have the extra "forum" directory. Not sure if these links are broken due to some recent changes, but figured I'd point it out.

    Word. When looking at stuff like the FL belt history, or LLL championship battles history, none of the links work.

    Quite annoying.

    Delete /forum from the URL and it'll work. Its aggravating but...it works.

    Re: Links

    Is this why I couldn't click on links from Google w/o then coming up the homepage.... Google like "Orc rapbattles.com for example and try to click on one of his battles.
