      @Lonk it's feeling like a routing issue with this specific 4 part domain.

        @robi So this is happening on your personal install that has more than one subdomain then?

          Important to read NGINX logs when testing too. I always forget that they're so easily accessible in the Services tab.

            No, it's a client machine with a dyndns setup.

              @robi Can you reproduce the error while watching the NGINX log?

                it's not an nginx issue.

                it's a problem with how NodeBB generates the URL for the top buttons like /recent.

                I don't know why it would be doing the extra URI paths when all it needs to do is /recent.

                    that would be a rash conclusion at this point.

                    I did post it here in the NodeBB section with the hopes to find out the actual reason, configuration or bug or otherwise.

                      @robi When I installed a NodeBB plugin, the navigations links did become corrupt once and I had to fix it by going to /admin/settings/navigation and editing all the entries one by one. I reported this on their forum but didn't get any real response.

                        @robi Have you switched to a regular singular sub domain and tested to see if the double sub-domain is the real issue at hand here?

                          Yeah, this is a good idea to check out as well. Just clone the forum to another place and check if the links are correct.

                            This is a good suggestion, but I don't have enough access to do this and I don't see anything wrong with these entries.

                              If I could, I'd have done this already.
                              It's a dyndns that only lets you control xxx.sub.domains, and not sub.domains.

                              Which is also why I asked for anyone with a wildcard domain for repro|comparison.

                                What I meant is the thing on the left side named "Route". Does it say "/categories" for you? In my case, it had become"corrupt" like "/categories#xxx" something.

                                    @girish thank you that was it!

                                    I changed all the routes for all the menu items to start with a / and we're good now.

                                    Like you said, it must have been a plugin that changed the routes 😕
