    [Forum] Invalid Forum Specified (Chrome Mobile)

    Withing the last week I have received complaints from my users that are using chrome mobile. I have also reproduced this problem myself.
    When I am looking at the forum listing on Chrome Mobile and I pick a forum it gives me the error "Invalid Forum specified.". I have troubleshot this a little and what I have found out is that there is an "=" sign getting added to the end of the url. for example the url will look like this www.mysite/forum/forumdisplay.php?35-Movies=. As you can see it is adding an "=" to the end of the url. I have two servers and several VB forums on each server and this is happening to all the VB sites using Chrome Mobile.
    Is this a Chrome Mobile issue or what is it?
    How can I fix this problem for my Chrome Mobile users?

    I am getting increasing complaints of this nature too. Has anyone got any idea what has suddenly caused this to occur?

      Anyone else getting this? Or managed to resolve it?

      Oddly, if I copy a link URL in the browser and paste it into a text editor on the tablet, the = character is not there...... so where is it coming from?

        I have resolved this issue by the following:-
        In AdminCP > Settings > Options > Friendly URLs, mine were set to Basic Friendly URLs, I have now changed it to Advanced Friendly URLs and it seems to be fine.

        Not sure if this change will have an adverse effect on anything else though?
