Forum Search Results 'View Thread' not working
Hello, I'm implementing a support forum on our website (much like this one) and I"m finding that the 'view thread' <a> links doesn't lead anywhere for me. It generates this as the href (http://localhost:1469/Forums/Search-Results?searchin=subjecttext&searchorderby=posttime&searchorder=ascending&forumid=5&threadid=1) The page that it opens is just a blank page without content.

I'm just wondering what I can do to fix this so that the forum search works 100% for our visitors.

Thanks in advance!

RE:Forum Search Results 'View Thread' not working
Hi,

I tried to reproduce this issue using forum search box and result web part, but for me was the link generated correctly. Only ForumID and ThreadID were available in the URL.

Could you please tell us which web parts are you using and paste here its configuration.

In case you are using smart search for searching in forums could you please make sure that URL of your forum document/page in the CMS Site Manager -> Settings -> Select your web site -> Forums section in Forum base URL setting is configured correctly.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova

Problem Solved!!

I had to change the Forum base URL setting you mentioned.
