Great, so disabling 'force https' worked for you?  This enabled the forum to be displayed?  For me this didn't happen, so I reverted the setting back to enable force https.

No it did not work for me. At least, not immediately and I didn't keep it turned off for 24 hours or more, which I suspect may be necessary for it to take effect as I suspect that may be related to propagating across the network, but this is a little beyond my area of expertise.

So it didn't work immediately, but did it work eventually?

Incidentally, under 'Redirect Users' I have, Redirect options are available only when the forum is embedded, so this tells me that my forum is definitely not embedded yet.

That's entirely to be expected.

If your forum is not embedded then the entire page is being hosted by Nabble and you won't want the forum redirected to anywhere else to stay on the forum.

Ok, I understand this bit I think.

If your forum is embedded and you follow a link within the forum then the page will be served from Nabble and you will leave your site. Assuming that you don't want your visitor to jump out of your site then you need the redirect to take them back to the page where the forum is embedded.

I understand this bit as well, so thank you.

If your forum is not embedded but you want to to appear to be served from your domain then, rather than "Redirect to" you use the screen at:
Options > Application > Change Domain Name

I will want my forum to be embedded, so this won't apply, but thanks again for clarifying.
