Since installing BBPress and BuddyPress, the main forum slugs (setup in wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum) have had URL’s such as this:

http://www.example.com/forums/forum/General-Discussion

Why do I have the word forum twice and how can I get rid of it?
When I go into a thread in General Discussion it only appears like this:

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

First of all, I would like the thread link to say the forum before the topic, so for example:

http://www.example.com/forums/general-discussion/hi

And secondly, I would like to get rid of the double slug in the first example.

it is like this for structure and for some other reason I cant remember

http://(sitename)/(forum root)/(what is it)/(name of post)

You can edit the slugs for the forums in settings > forums
you can also remove the forum root slug too.
