If you've converted to Kunena from phpBB, you'll want to preserve your forum links. The best way to do that is to add the following lines to your htaccess file.
Code:
# Redirects for phpBB to Kunena conversion RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=(\d+) RewriteRule viewforum.php$ /forum/%1? [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=(\d+) RewriteRule viewtopic.php$ /forum/%1? [R=303,L] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^mode=viewprofile&u=(\d+)$ RewriteRule profile.php$ /forum/profile/userid-%1? [R=301,L,NE] RewriteRule search.php$ /forum/search? [R=301,L] RewriteRule profile.php$ /forum/profile? [R=301,L] RewriteRule faq.php$ /forum/help? [R=301,L] RewriteRule memberlist.php$ /forum/userlist? [R=301,L] RewriteRule viewonline.php$ /forum/who? [R=301,L] # Redirect private messages to JomSocial RewriteRule privmsg.php$ /community/messages? [R=301,L] # Redirect for phpBB portal mod RewriteRule portal.php$ /forum? [R=301,L]

If you don't use JomSocial or have never used the phpBB Portal Mod, you can leave out the last two rules.

This isn't perfect since, upon conversion, topics have new IDs. But it should safely preserve a lot of your forum links and keep the maximum SEO possible.
