There should be some way to address this, but I don't know how yet.
I upgraded from 3.8.4 to 4.0 on one of my forums, and I did not back up, so I am stuck with 4.0 on this one forum. Read about that nightmare here
Anyway, here is the issue. My backlinks and such all direct people to my forum main page
http://www.______.com/forums/
However, once you upgrade to 4.0 Publishing Suite, that url goes absolutely nowhere. It just keeps clicking between two different URLs and ends up at http://www.___________.com/forums/content/
which is either nonexistent (Redirect Loop Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete) or the blank Home page of the website (not the forum front page).
I assume there is some way to work around this, I hope. Some setting I assume.
I mean, if you have created tons of backlinks directing to your forum home page and now that goes to either a blank page or nowhere, that is a serious issue!
Another thing I don't like is that if someone clicks the Home page on my forum which is
http://www._______.com/forums/content/
and does end up on the Home page, there is nothing there (no content) and there seems no way to click to get to the forums themselves.
The new URL for the forum front page has now become:
http://www._________.com/forums/forum.php
It also seems to me that 4.0 runs much slower than 3.8.4 I am running a 3.8.4 forum, which has a LOT more traffic on the same host (same plan) as my lower traffic 4.0 forum, and the 4.0 forum is ridiculously slow compared to the older version.
