Question Changed Category Name, would like to redirect the URL

Looking back over the past 2½ years that this website has been in existence, there are many old URL references to topics, categories, posts where the topic/category/post has subsequently been renamed or moved. Would you be surprised if those old URL references, posted months or even a year or two ago, still worked today?
Having written that, in your case, when you renamed a category and someone else may have bookmarked some of that category's contents by its former name, the Kunena router should take care of the necessary URL resolution and presentation of the correct contents. There would only seem to be a case for modifying your .htaccess if there was a domain name change (e.g. when www.kunena.com was moved to www.kunena.org and therefore any existing references in the forum to the old domain needed to be addressed in a different way).
Now that you have renamed your category, have you tried using your bookmark www.mywebsite.com/forum/old-name and does it take you to the new location?
