Embed forum : problem with force remote URL (redirecting all links to homepage, missing slash)

Hello,
I'm encountering a problem I've been unfortunately unable to solve by myself and I'm very embarassed not to found a solution :-( . Maybe Vanilla's community has a solution (fingers crossed !).
Using Vanilla 2.0.18.4.
My forum URL is : http://forum.mydomain.com.
It is embed in http://www.mydomain.com/forum/ , force remote url is set to : http://www.mydomain.com/forum/.
With Force remote URL enabled, from the embed forum, if a user copy-paste the link to a discussion, he will be redirected to the homepage of my embed forum and no to the discussion apparently because of a missing slash after the #.
For instance, with
http://forum.mydomain.com/discussion/23/title-of-my-discussion
would lead the user to :
http://www.mydomain.com/#discussion/23/title-of-my-discussion
instead of :
http://www.mydomain.com/#/discussion/23/title-of-my-discussion
I would be very grateful if somebody has a solution concerning that problem that is currently preventing all my forum's members from direct linking to a discussion.
Thanks by advance !

I have exactly the same problem using the same version of Vanilla. Have you been able to solve the problem or has anybody else an idea how to fix it?
Unfortunately, no
*sorry, bug. You can delete this answer.
Wild Guess. put or change this in conf/config.php and see if it helps.
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
First of all thanks for your answer.
I have just tried your change, I'm sorry but it still doesn't work
The suggested change had already been set in config.php. Should the mistake not be somewhere in the directory plugins/embedvanilla, maybe in the javascript, which creates the URLs?
I have just found a solution that works for me.
In plugins/embedvanilla/local.js there is a part
// If not embedded and we should be, redirect to embedded version.
I added the missing slash in this line:
document.location = remoteUrl + '#/' + path;
After that I cleared the cache including the files in cache/smarty/compile but I don't know if this was necessary.
I hope the same will solve the problem for you as well.
Works like a charm ! Thank you very much stefan90, problem fixed !
Version 2.0.18.8
WOW! I haven't noticed the slash missing after #. Correcting it gives me exactly the result I want. But can you give me some additional info because I did your solution and it didn't work (I deleted cache of course..).
conf/config.php:
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = $Configuration['Format']['Hashtags'] =No need to answer, my bad. Your solution works amazingly well! Thank you!!!!!
