 * Hey guys,
 * I’ve encountered a problem with the link to my vBulletin forums. I created a 
   page with the purpose of linking to my forums, but it seems it gets redirected
   to the wordpress site itself and displays a 404. I created a sub-domain and it
   redirects me to a random 404 page from the abecks.dk site.. I do not know what
   is causing this, I think it has something to do with the fact that my forums 
   are in [http://www.pvpunited.com/forum](http://www.pvpunited.com/forum) but when
   I link to it, I think WordPress intercepts it and thinks its a part of the WP-
   site.
 * Can someone tell me how to go from the WP-site to the forums?
 * Thanks,
 * Cheezy

 * The forum link works fine here. Did you get it sorted out?

 * No, when I try to open the modcp it redirects it to the 404 again, I think it
   has something to do with WordPress’ permalinks. The format was formerly WordPresssite.
   com/%postname% and it didn’t work. Now I changed it back to the default one, 
   but it’s bad for the SEO, does anyone know how to exclude the forum directory
   from WordPress?
