Since I've had the server running for a week, I've decided to tackle some of the errors that are now being logged.
These are mainly due to the old structure from a few years back, but a lot of other sites link to us still.
3 things I'm tackling initially:
URL/forum/
I moved the forum to the root directory a few months back, so I've got this in my config to redirect all requests to forum to the root directory
That works fine
We then have 2 other folders. The userpix which used to reside in the forum folder, but I moved it to a different domain, and a guides folder that was in the root directory.
I had these rewriting in .htaccess with this:
I've managed to get these to rewrite correctly by putting these in the server block
Is there a better way of rewriting these (in a location for example), rather than having them in the server block?

location /forum/ {
rewrite ^/forum/(.*)?$ /$1 redirect;
rewrite ^/forum$ / redirect;
