Greg you are awesome! I am sure harkawy will reply, he is the techie not me. We did not wish to deny Nabble of its branding, what we were trying to avoid was having users learn of a direct way to access the forum outside of it being embedded on our website. Once a user sees, or has the ability to redirect to the permalink url, they can bookmark that and not pass through our site which has a subscription rule for the page the forum lives on. Harkawy was successful in winking out the permalink however if we were to right click on the forum name and open in a new window, we would be directed to Nabble and the url exposed. Also if we hovered our mouse over the name the permalink addy was visible in the lower left of the screen should anyone be wise enough write it down. I understand some of these things are all part of how things work but we were just hoping to reduce the discovery of the ability to "go direct". Does this make sense?
We really like Nabble, we just want it to live within our space so we can control access "to" the forum even though the forum has its own security. Thanks again Greg, we value your support and dedication to help others. It is refreshing.
