Hello, I have created a simple form with 4 questions (inc. email). After submitting the form, they are supposed to be redirected to a thank you page not in the root directory. However, what happens is they are redirected to a thank you page in the root directory that doesn't exist. The system doesn't seem to be picking up the sub-directory in the link that was provided. I have checked and re-checked. Any suggestions?

When configuring your form, you need to specify a fully qualified URL as the redirect page:

Example:
http://www.mydomain.com/thankyou.html

This was really not helpful, she specifically mention a location in a different directory (subdomain) and you provide the "happy path" to the main domain directory. I am seeing a similar problem:
I state the path to be http://subdomain.mydomain.com/page.html , the form works for a few days then I have a 404 stating that the address should be http://www.mydomain.com/subdomain/page.html. I update the form and it works for a few days and then I have a 404 stating that the path should now be http://subdomain.mydomain.com/page.html
I would appreciate a quick help on this one.

There is absolutely nothing that would cause this within our software. The problem most likely resides in your DNS or web server. Simply making sure that the address you specify for the redirect is a 'good' URL (simply needs to be a full URL, not simply a path relative to the form location) it will work 100% of the time.
