autoitscript.com/forum/forum...why?

[johnmcloud]

Hi,

It's very strange how this forum work.

In the index of the forum we have:

autoitscript.com/forum/index.php

But in every section:

autoitscript.com/forum/forum/1-announcements-and-site-news/

autoitscript.com/forum/forum/2-general-help-and-support/

etc.

Why this choice? Why repeat the same word twice?

Is only a curiosity

Why not? That's the way the forum software does it. If you want to know why, ask Invision Power.

[Mat]

Because the forum is hosted at "www.autoitscript.com/forum/" and the board uses "forum" again. It doesn't know about the previous one.

[Jon]

It's because that part of the url is used to say what part of the board you are in, it's not always "forum". And because I didn't install the forum at the root of the site it can look strange.

For example, when you are in a topic it's /topic.

You could always rig the site to have an alias such as autoitscript.com/forums/ resolving to autoitscript.com/forum/forum/ or something of the like.

The URLs originally read something to the effect of http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?topic=148083
