The trailing / doesnt mean anything, its the same URL.

As you have vbseo installed id start there, as its going to be doing all your rewriting.

Did you check vbseo & its rewrite rules as suggested?

Id also check your apache config, but the trailing / is technically the correct URL as forum is a folder, not a file.

vbseo settings are by default i cant figure out which one is it :-s

Yes its folder, main reason i asked because .com is redirected to /forum and then it redirects to /forum/

I want to reduce the number of redirects .. I should better add /forum/ instead of /forum redirect i guess, hope it wont effect Google indexes :confused:

The correct url is forum/, as its a folder not a file.

That shouldnt effect google ranks, thats also the correct & last rediect, as its tell it to go to the folder & then look for the index file.
