Kunena 6.3.0 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.3.0 [K 6.3.0] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x/5.1.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.3
Solved Non existent thread gives 200 HTTP status code instead of 404
I've notice that when I delete a thread in my kunena forum, the URL still works and shows this message: "You don't have permission to access this page". The problem is that the HTTP response code is "200 OK" instead of "404 Not Found".
I've also tried appending a non-existing thread id (no previously deleted) to my forum category URL and the result is the same with a 200 code.
Is there anyone else with problem?
I use joomla 2.5.8 and kunena 2.0.3.

The problem is with threads that has been sent to trash, completly deleted or even if I use a random non-existing thread id.

The point is that if you have a non-existent topic then you have a non-existent topic and attempting to link to a non-existent topic will fail. I think it should be that simple.
If, for example, I write "Go to www.kunena.org/forum/K-2-0-General-Quest...-code-instead-of-404 " this will fail because the topic does not exist. Does it necessarily matter? That's not for me to say. I'm only providing my personal opinion and I will leave it to technical experts to argue the merits of whether the outcome should be HTTP 200 or HTTP 404 and leave it at that.
Good luck. I hope you receive the outcome that you seek.

- The HTTP status code is saying to search engines that the page exists when it's not. Also you can get a lot of URLs with duplicate content.
- The screen message can confuse users as they will think that they have not enough permissions. But the reality is totally different.
Of course I'm not going to link a non-existent topic but I can delete a existent one that has been previously linked or indexed by search engines.
Maybe is not a big problem as the forum works and nobody can access to non-existent topic but it is something that is not working as it should be.

Sorry sozzled, my previous message was to xillibit who agrees with me and who is a kunena developer (as I can see bellow his avatar).sozzled wrote: I can confirm that this is an issue that will not be addressed in K 2.0 because, in our opinion, this is not something that requires "fixing".
So, I ask again to some kunena developer to confirm if this issue are going to be addressed or not.
And sozzled, I would like to know why you think that the HTTP response code is not important.

It is not me who "thinks: this. My understanding of what xillibit wrote is that the Kunena team believes tat, from an SEO perspective, the current situation is not entirely appropriate. Although we're sympathetic to the situation, the matter will not be addressed in K 2.0.cybnet wrote: And sozzled, I would like to know why you think that the HTTP response code is not important.
