Yup! You got my mistake. The URL of the subsite had 
the "forum" string as part of its path. I had a big Blind 
Spot to that, the whole time I was trying to make the 
mirror function. 

Now I've modified the filters to more specific, getting 
around the name in the path, and everything works quite 
well.

Merci!
