Ok, I think I see the problem now. If you look at the source code for the page 1 link, it generates an empty href element, which by default will link back to the current page. This is generated in the bb_paginate_links function in bb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php. Can you try something real quick, as a possible fix? Around line 244, you will see the following:

$empty_format = ”;

Change this to:

$empty_format = ‘/’;

This will generate an href of “/” which should lead to the root of your forum. Please let us know if this works.
