I had this problem for a week and I have checked your previous topics about this problem faced by other members.
I have upgraded my SP to the latest one yesterday.

The problem comes again today. 

I have these plugins:
WP No Category Base – WPML compatible
SABRE
BWP Google XML Sitemaps
Genesis Responsive Slider
Greg’s High Performance SEO
Arconix FlexSlider
WP-PageNavi

Wp version is 3.5.1(Multisite). Forum installed in the root domain(www.domain.com)

Site name is www.family.my

can you go to forum – integration – page and permalink and try resetting the forum permalink…

if that does not work, have you ever experimented with another 3rd party forum application and perhaps still have something installed on your server in a ‘forum’ subdirectory from the wp root?

something on your site is forcing a redirect… when it tries to load the forum or topic page, the http response is:

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:47:42 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8m DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.16 X-Pingback: http://www.family.my/xmlrpc.php Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Pragma: no-cache Location: http://www.family.my/ Content-Length: 0 Keep-Alive: timeout=2, max=160 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml; charset=UTF-8

note the 302 status and the location it was moved to (http://www.family.my/)… so we need to find out what is doing that redirection…

if the resetting does not work, can you check the settings of your SEO plugin… does it have redirection options?

The reset permalink did the job. Will this happen again? Why did it happen out of sudden?
Ill do checking everyday. 

Thanks.

No, it shouldnt happen again except in very strange and odd situations… come back if it does and we can give you another 1 line change that should resolve it…

Mr Papa, it comes back. This is so annoying. If Big G keep on seeing pages like this my forum is going to be dead.
Can you send me the line to resolve this?

then you need to figure out what on your site is doing the redirects…  no chance its the forum with that one commented out…

any redirection plugins?  any permalink plugins?  any seo plugins?  check your .htacess for any non standard wp rules…

I have tried to disable all plugins.
No redirects in my Cpanel.
It works when I update my forum permalinks in integration but error comes after a few days.
(I have listed my plugins in my first post)

This is my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 Thanks.

Forgot to attach a screenshot. My forum integration config. forum_inte.jpg

a couple questions…  is this multisite?  its a little bit different than standard wp and the ms-files part is only valid for multisite…

so is Greg’s SEO trying to do some rewrites for SEO?  I know you said you disabled it, but for long enough to see if it changed?

in the integration panel, why are you bypassing the wp_head action???  that is for only a couple extremely rare conditions…

and when you did the stuff in post #6, and fixed the permalink, it still undid some time later?

I have no problem for the past 10 days after disabling “Limit forum display to within WP loop.” but the error comes again.

A couple questions…  is this multisite?  its a little bit different than standard wp and the ms-files part is only valid for multisite… ->This is a multisite.

so is Greg’s SEO trying to do some rewrites for SEO?  I know you said you disabled it, but for long enough to see if it changed? -> I tried disable but did not delete in DB.

and when you did the stuff in post #6, and fixed the permalink, it still undid some time later?
->Yes, I did fix it a few times but it reverted back again and again.

I am not sure where Steve was headed with this question so will need to let him responds to this part

The question was – was it deactivated for long enough to test properly whether the rewrite records were lost? In this example we arew talking 10 days before it happened again!

in the integration panel, why are you bypassing the wp_head action???  that is for only a couple extremely rare conditions…->My integration is in this screenshot.

The question was why are you bypassing the wp_head action? This may not be relevant but at the moment we do not know what might be and what might not be so it would be useful to understand this option setting.

and when you did the stuff in post #6, and fixed the permalink, it still undid some time later?
->Yes, I did fix it a few times but it reverted back again and again.

our only limited experience of this behaviour came down to a another plugin mis-performing their rewrites. It suggests that whatever it was that was being done immediately prior to the rewrites record being lost is most probably the culprit. Can you by any chance remember what that might have been – it would have been something that had not be touched for the previous 10 days. And probably an admin task of some sort.

was just verifying why that line was in the .htaccess… 

and when you did these things, is the item from post #6 still in place?

sorry, dont forget about Andy’s comments… sometimes folks only see the last post! ;)

Post no 6 verified and line removed since reading the post.

This is so annoying. My forum is almost dead from SEO since the error comes. Google does not want to rank me anymore. Can you login to my site and check or fix for me? My forum is extremely important or else the site will be dead and that was why I paid for your subscription. 

Thanks.
