XF 1.2 More email issues

[FredC]

So, lately when I get an email notification that a thread I'm following has a new post, and I click "view this thread" it takes me to the forum index, instead of that thread, as it used to do. Is there a way to fix that?

Heres the thing the url points to the proper thread however after clicking the link/button from my email client it redirects to community/index.php

I do believe i have a cpl redirects in my .htaccess file but those are old and this problem is new. Probably a plugin or something but i figured id check here in case it was something simple i may have simply overlooked.

Can you copy and paste the content of one of the emails here?

Removed as no longer relevant..

if it makes a differance one of my redirects directs www. to a non www path. as http://domain.com as opposed to www.http://domain.com But then its been set like that for years with zero problems.

Do you have any redirects in place in your .htaccess file?

At the very least you should definitely consider forcing everything to be www or non-www, whichever is your preference.

Your board URL setting is wrong. It currently is:

http://www.doberman-chat.com

It should be:

http://doberman-chat.com/community

In this case, it's the redirect that you have in your root directory causing the problem.

How long has the board URL been like that?
All registration email confirmation links will have been failing.

(couple weeks) i think i just recently changed the board URL but i forget why i was messing with that setting... edit: now i kind of remember i was attempting to get xenporta to open in the root domain as http://doberman-chat.com like it had before 1.2

this is my .htaccess file....

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.doberman-chat\.com$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://doberman-chat.com/$1 [R=301,L]RedirectMatch \.(dynamiccontent|pl|plx|perl|cgi|php|php4|php4|php6|php3|shtml)$ http://doberman-chat.com/cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi

I remember modifying this a cpl years ago based on a tutorial i found here when i first moved to xf, and never recall it giving me problems.. Although not all of the code (last half) looks familiar.

Alright i changed the board URL and also rewrote my .htaccess file.. That problem seems to be sorted out.. Thanks to all for the feedback and helpful pointers....
