I am using discourse 2.6.0.beta1 with `relative_url_root = /forum` and I have noticed a couple issues.

One issue is that several links, for example “Latest” on the main page, point to `/latest` instead of `/forum/latest`. The links do work, but the status bar shows the incorrect value when hovering.

Another issue is that I was trying to see if I could make links to categories without the trailing number, like `/forum/c/staff`. This doesn’t work because it redirects to `/forum/forum/c/staff/3`.

They are not major problems, but I thought I would report them since it doesn’t seem like they are known bugs.
