Question forum works, only the posts are not readable

All older versions are uninstalled, I tried those because uploading 1.6.3 did give errors.
I cannot reinstall a new joomla site, because my site is almost finished.

So tell me how to remove completely the kunena 1.6.3?
- uninstall in joomla
- manualy remove data from the sql (leftovers?), which???

I need Kunena, because that's the only one that works with CB

Hello mate,

If you still got Kunena 1.6 installed on your forum, you see your frontpage but you can not read your forumposts, try the following thing!

Go to your administrator backend>Menu>Kunena menu and disable all of the Kunena menu or remove all the Kunena menu. Refresh your browser and let us know if that worked!

Thx for the help !
I unpublished all menu's and links to Kunena, I deleted Joomlas cache.
I tried different K SEO settings (joomla still is on YES-YES-NO setting with htaccess...)

But nothing works...
this is how an url looks like:
www.mysite.be/folder/forum/index?view=li...catid=0&func=listcat

The browser returns something about a loop and try disabling cookies.

Hope I can make it to work one way or an other

Could I have some clues about what might go wrong?
So I can start digging?

I don't recall making any suggestion about "reinistalling" Joomla. However, the more that you add to your site before you install Kunena the more likely it is that you will encounter problems after you install Kunena.

Let's separate the issues. You are in a situation, at this time, with a website that probably does not have the Kunena software installed but may have some old database tables leftover from previous software installations that "failed" in some way. What we don't know, at this time, is what caused the failures in the first place.

The following database tables may (or may not) exist:

jos_fb*
jos_kunena*

But, before you irretrievably destroy any hope of running your site, I am intrigued by two other things you wrote:

This shows us that you have not properly setup Joomla Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) on your website! So, before you do anything else, you need to get it right.

You need a file called .htaccess (not htaccess as you wrote above) - it's called DOT-htaccess. It's a very special file and it has a very special construction. The Joomla installation kit provides one for you. It's shipped as htaccess.txt in the installation kit and you need to rename it to .htaccess and make sure that it's located in your site root folder. All of this is explained in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) . Please read that guide very carefully.

This means that you have a number of menu items that all point to the same thing (in different ways). But normally you won't get this kind of message if you also have URLs in the form of www.mysite.be/folder/forum/index?view=li...catid=0&func=listcat ... so something isn't right here!

This error you're getting, "something about a loop and try disabling cookies" is actually discussed in [Merged topic] "This webpage has a redirect loop"

The problem that we have, in advising you what to do next, is that we have no clear idea what is your current situation, what state your database tables are in, your site menus, etc. Our task is to help you get K 1.6.3 running on your website. We do not know the URL of that website. We do not know, for instance, whether you can generate a K 1.6 configuration report. Can you? :dry:

Hey Zed, or should I say m'Ludd?

I did a fresh install of Kunena 1.6.3 and had the same problem as described in this post. When I clicked on a category or an article I got the message "The page isn't redirecting properly". I tried to disable the Kunena menu items, and that fixed it!

Unfortunately you didn't post what to do to rectify the problem when this happens, so I'd be very grateful if you did. I'd quite like to have menu items...

Thanks!
