Question Link Issue

We are using the URL BB Code for this.

1. What happens, if you use the link without bbcode or if you click on a message number? Is the link in principle wrong?

A relative link without bbcode won't translate to a clickable link.
Clicking on a message number works.

No, there is only one unpublished item. It is the default help entry of the kunena menu. Nothing has been edited.

Well, i can give you the URL so you could register as a guest if that helps. I'd prefer sending those details privately if possible.

I'm not sure but I think I found the issue. Is your Joomla installation on the main server page or installed in a extra folder? If you have the installation in a extra folder, you must enter for a relative link the folder name first. Otherwise the relative link does not work.
Must be /foldername/forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/reply/204398

The installation is in the vhosts root directory and not in a folder.
So essentially it is like here.

So the following link _test_link_ is correct here (/forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue) whereas on my site it would be /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/kunena respectively /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/forum

let me know if you want access to the forum where the issue exists.

You can send it to rich@*kunena.org (address without star). Please post a link to a topic where is included a relative link in a message.

I think, I don't need access anymore. It seems, the problem occcur only with SEO links. Probably it's bug.
Please disable for a test in the Joomla configuration Search Engine Friendly URLs, then test it with these relative url such as
index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=5&id=11&Itemid=8940&limitstart=24#259
Can you confirm this, whether it works with this urls?

Hey rich,

Thanks for looking at this.

I can confirm that this issue only appears when Search Engine Friendly URLs are enabled.
Furthermore, it seems like one of the previous Kunena or Joomla updates (a month ago or longer) is responsible as this previously worked fine. It might have been broken longer, but i simply might not have noticed it earlier.
