Hello,
the following solved my problem:
www.kunena.org/forum/168-k-16-support/71...it=10&start=40#71977

Joomla has a very weird alias system...

Yes, menu is totally screwed up in Joomla 1.5. Luckily Joomla 1.6 is much better on preventing stupid mistakes, but it will cause a few gray hairs after the "freedom" of J1.5.

I know that turning of SEO from Joomla config solves this problem. But as sozzled said, it is not fixing the real problem and should not be done. I was having the problem and solved it by sozzled's and adventura's advice.

I suggest you do the following :

-delete and trash all kunena menus from the "kunena menu" module and the "main menu". Just list all the "main menu" modules and delete anything associated with kunena.

-go to you main menu and create a new menu item, associate with kunena main page.

-change the "alias" part with a unique one, do not use the word FORUM in it. No "forum". tried it in many differen forms just does not work. Find something else, use abbreviations. Something like "kunenaf".

-clear your browser cache and try the main kunena link. It should work now.

-if you wish to create a separate kunena menu -which you do not have to- then please choose another alias for this main kunena link. If you use the same one, it loops again. (tried it many times)

This fixed my problem and sounds like fixed many others' too.

Do not turn off the SEO function if you need SEO function. This has nothing to do with the problem but somewhat solves it.

I had the same redirect loop issue..

internet explorer would not display the error it just displayed the status bar forever. Used google chrome and it came up with the redirect error.

searched the forum found this thread THANK YOU..
deleted the two old links and created a new one forum loaded. But couldn't use the threads or other items in the forum.
Uninstalled the forum and reinstalled it not its working

thanks guys

@camsarim: Thank you from finding this solution. I will report a bug to change our default alias name into something else -- that would fix a few issues.

It looks like having the same menu alias results of undefined behavior in Joomla 1.5. It also looks like Joomla 1.6 does everything to prevent this from happening.
