Create new link forum

[vbuser]

I'm trying to create a link to a gallery category but forum keeps changing the link.

admin>applications>node tree>link

Below is what I enter for the link

index.php?media/categories/cocker-profiles.4/

This is the link the forum creates. It works but did I do this the best way?

index.php?link-forums/my-cocker-spaniel-profiles.17/

That's how link forums work.

and change icon.
