Hello everyone, just joined these forums!

Been looking around, much better than the old LinkedIn one, so good job on that. A few things though could be polished/changed, from another forum admin's point of view.

1) IMPORTANT - On the main AppGini support page, the forum link has not been updated to the new phpBB link. http://bigprof.com/appgini/support. That needs changing to the new forum link.

2) URL redirection. I think this should be done to make it easier to remember the URL. Upon trying to find the forums, I repeatedly typed in forums.appgini.com, thinking it was correct. In my opinion, whilst having it in a folder called phpbb is perfectly fine, the basic URL should redirect. This could be done with .htaccess like this:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?forums.appgini.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ phpbb [L]
That should work. You can create a .htaccess file in this URL's directory and insert that code into it. If you already have one, add it to the end of the file.

These were just a couple of things I thought of. Other than that, good job on the forum!

Thanks @Techno Venus for the feedback. I corrected the link now. Regarding redirection, forums.appgini.com does redirect to the phpbb folder .. Is it not working this way on your browser?

Hello,

Glad to help. The URL does seem to be redirecting now, so I'm not quite sure what happened there. Anyway, not to worry, it's fine now.
