how to not have forum.php in the URL

[Matthew Gordon]

If you edit the Forum tab, you can change the Target URL to /forums/{session.sessionurl_q}

The problem with that is that it will result in a endless redirect loop, so you also have to edit your index.php file:

define('VB_REDIRECT', true); 

Comment out that line so it looks like this:

// define('VB_REDIRECT', true);
