XF 1.2 [solved] Route Filters: link-forums/ => /forums blocks whole forum

[Marcus]

The board is unusable then.

#1 http://localhost/index.php?forums/main-forum.2/ results in this error:

XenForo - Error

The requested link forum could not be found.

#2 http://localhost/index.php , here I don't even get any error from xenforo, my browser tells me the site is redirecting with permanent error.

It works when redirecting both "link-forums" and "forums" to a new created route:

first route filter: link-forums/ => forum
second route filter: forums/ => forum

This would be expected behavior. You're saying that everything in link-forums/ means forums/ and by extension, everything in forums/ is in link-forums/. You can create filters that have the potential to break things if you do this.
