0 Nerve Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I always use and prefer forums since its multiple forums. i guess if you only had one topic then forum would sound okay. Well, I noticed Neowin use /forum but the navbar says Forums..

0 HawkMan Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 a Forum would technically be a place to discuss multiple things. so you can use either or, since you could also argue the forum has multiple forums when talking about internet forums.... confused yet ?

0 HawkMan Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 for the actual forum softwar folder, it's /forum since it's one forum, you're not installing multiple forums... unless you have several forums under /forums/ again :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/961672-forum-or-forums/#findComment-593503904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nerve Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 for the actual forum softwar folder, it's /forum since it's one forum, you're not installing multiple forums... unless you have several forums under /forums/ again :) I see, that's why neowins url is /forum and the links on the site are 'Forums' :) Thanks!

0 Cupcakes Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I use /forums/ if it's going to be in a directory. I also make sure that /forum/ redirects to /forums/ so it doesn't 404 for people that habitually type it one way (or the other.) I know I've done /forums/ with Neowin so often that it's the first suggestion for 'Ne' in Chrome >:| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/961672-forum-or-forums/#findComment-593504654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
