Question Strange behaviour with new install

Hi guys, I am getting a strange behaviour with a new install. So I will keep it brief:
1. My front end login is successful, well so it appears but it still shows as guest and there are no other options appearing for normally a logged in user.
2. When selecting tabs 'Rules' and 'Help' the middle content is my landing page!

Okay some basic details...

Website forum: www.hardcoreseo.co.uk/index.php/forum/

It is a windows server set to friendly and no apache rewrite hence the index.php/forum path.

Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong please?

Thanks

sadly I can't fix the strange behaviour. I removed and installed it back, checked all the settings etc. A friend of mine who is a php programmer quickly checked the back end and he thought there is a bug or small programming error somewhere in the Kunena codes but can't say exactly as he did not programme it.

I will wait till a reply comes here, but for now I will remove it and try some other forums as there are plenty around to play with.

Would rather had kept Kuena as it looked promising and easy to use.

Hi,
(1) Can you make a test user, so i can take a look.
(2) This is normal, please read docs.kunena.org/index.php/How_to_create_a_rule_and_a_help_page

Ok no probs:

User: temp
Password: temp2010

www.hardcoreseo.co.uk/index.php/forum

You will notice issues when surfing the forum.

For example do a search 'test' then on result page click it and link is incorrect.
Also when registering new user and you click confirmation link it's says ok then can't find page, again URL is incorrect.

Thanks.

Cheers
Gavin

I Think there is a plugin error, can you pm a administrator account.

I'm browsing Your forum now. Can You disable all Your sef and see if that helps? I'm seeing some weird urls.
