Forum base URL and forum e-mails

 

It's important to set a correct Forum base URL value in the forum properties so that the notification e-mails contain valid links to the forum. Use URL in format http://localhost/kenticocms/forums.aspx - enter the full URL of the page with forum, including the domain.
