Merged "This webpage has a redirect loop"

Your website is unconventional. There looks as if there's some kind of HTML "optimiser" product at work on your site (could possible be something installed with YOOTheme template, I don't know).

Here is a summary of the known causes of the redirect loop issue (in descending order of likelihood) the most likely cause is at the top:

(1) customised .htaccess
(2) issues involving third-party SEF software
(3) menu item with no itemid
(4) the wrong itemid (this would not be generated by the Kunena component)
(5) legacy menu items from K 1.5
(6) the webhosting platform that you are using

Are any of these conditions related to your case?

there is no third party sef software or legacy menu items from k 1.5. there is no menu item without an id. jch optimizer plugin is installed, but disabling it did not help.
the site is on bluehost. everything was working with 1.6 beta - what changes were made in the upgrade to stable 1.6.1 that would cause this problem?

i found the menu that kunena created on its own and copied the entry page menu item to the main menu. Now i can get to the forum, but when i click on any of the postings, I get the same type of error message:
The webpage at www.bilingualrussian.com/ru/forum/%D0%A3...82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

with utf-8 support turned off, i get The webpage at www.bilingualrussian.com/us/forum/

has resulted in too many redirects. etc. etc.

The posts are in Russian.

The administrators of this website (and other members of the project team) tried to use JCH Optimizer. It didn't work. The general consensus was, in fact, that this Joomla extension doesn't deliver the performance gains or the functionality that it promises.

Host fixed issue.

But i want to get back on the menu highlighting thingy.

The menu is supposed to support Mootools, and i have enabled it. But its still not working. Could you recommend me a plugin to check moo tools config so i can have a closer look? Im completely new to this, i dont even know what moo tools is supposed to do besides sounding like a cow.

Edit:
if it helps; i did this just for tying: i set up the link in the menu as a wrapper and then linked to the forum. The link gets highlighted when so!

it isn't enabled at the moment, anyway, so isn't causing the loop issue.

It? What is "it" that isn't enabled at the moment that has [somehow] fixed the [redirect] loop issues?
