Mmm! I fear that level of NAML coding is beyond me and I'm not clear that it would solve the problem.

(Pedro once removed the "Home" link from the breadcrumbs for me when he did a lot of coding when I was using "Smart Pages" to hide a selection of areas from part of the forum audience. The trouble was people could jump from one section of the forum to the other by accessing it through their profile pages, as you were then always returned to the "Home" page. His solution was to replace the "Home" link in the breadcrumbs with a "Back" link to keep the two audiences separate, but that introduced a number of bugs that were never resolved. After Pedro left,  I split the two forums and they now run independently.)

I guess I had in mind an approach more like this when clicking any link within the forum that would open a new page:

Does the link on the forum target a page with a "Redirect to" set?
If yes: Jump to the URL on the main site (not the forum permalink) and let the forum page appear there.

Obviously, it's going to be a relatively slow operation as the forum has to re-load completely at the new page - but  that is an inevitable consequence of demanding separate redirects. I can live with that!
