This discussion is related to the ShareThis addon.
I love this plug-in. But I can't use it because it links back to my source forum. I need my traffic to go through my embedded form. Is this an easy tweak?
And there is the embed forum that is pretty where I want the forum to be seen and used http://ballofspray.com/forum
Please don't tell me I set it up wrong! If I did it right at my end.... when the user hits ShareThis (or gets a message via email) the sent link it to the source forum not the embedded
From my understanding the embedded forum just pulls the content from the source forum.
With the option to show the forum in embed url and force/redirect visitors to the embed.. all linking credits are going to the source url (which i think is fine) and visitors following that links are forced to see the forum in the embedded place.
Search engines know it´s related to the "real" forum Visitors will see the embed forum
BUT: the url domain.com/vanilla/ may isn´t the url you want to show, right?
I -the time i´ve done the setup- installed vanilla to domain.com/forums and embedded it to domain.com/forum
so even i decide to have a standalone forum in the future.. links are not going to /vanilla but /forums

ShareThis points back to this http://ballofspray.vanillaforums.com/
I do not use things like share this because I do not want my readers to find the "vanillaforums.com" URL
