Error on logging out

Using .9.0.2. Using Firefox2.

Logging out is sometimes a problem, and then sometimes not.

Sometimes when I log out, I get the following address in my url:

http://www.example.com/example/topic/

Then the error message:

The requested URL /example/topic/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I think this problem originates with the hidden forum plugin. I am in the hidden forum, when I logout, then I have the above error. If I am on the front page, then I have no problems logging out.

This happens because there was a bug in early bbPress 1.0 alpha where it does not handle a blank query OR your HTACCESS file is missing a way to handle empty topics names.

Edit your .htaccess file and add these two rules to the bottom of the rule list (before </ifmodule>)
```
RewriteRule ^topic(|/)$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum(|/)$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA]
```
Note that you have to change /forums/ to the base of your forum path, whatever it might be if it’s not forums. ie. /discussions/

/community/

whatever, etc.
