FIX: Clicking on a URL with a different url prefix did not work (#13349)

Before this fix if your forum was set up with a subfolder and you
clicked on a link to a different subfolder it would not work. For
example:

   subfolder: /cool
   link is: /about-us

Previously it would try to resolve /about-us as /cool/about-us. With
this fix it redirects to /about-us correctly.
