If I set Pages as my default app, then my forum URLs will start with mydomain.com/forums/

Is it possible to rename that folder something other than /forums/ ?

 

You can edit FURL rules in "ACP > System > SETTINGS > Advanced Configuration > Friendly URLs TAB".

For example you can change the topic view rule from:

https://domain.com/forums/topic/{#id}-{?}

to:

https://domain.com/customname/topic/{#id}-{?}

 

There are 8 rules in total you need to change to cover all the FURLs that contain /forums/.

Thanks!
