This seems to be happening for any bbpress link. Does the buddypress, quick bbpress install work or do I need to do something in addition? I activated Multi-Site support in addition to what I wrote about above.
Thanks for the suggestion but yep, have those both functioning correctly. It is just the links for viewing the topic (every other link works). Does installing it in a directory past the root have anything to do with it? I don’t get why, but I am not at the root with this, am at a folder past the root called /forum.. which also makes the link structure confusing because it says forum/forums for when you are on forum pages but I don’t mind that, am more just wanting to get it to work. Its strange because I was hoping a clean install of everything would get everything working simply so I still feel like it must be a simple solution.
