Forums don't use aliases

hi thanks for your time in contributing this module it's excellent!

I have one issue I'd like to resolve however. I have some forums, that tagadelic makes tags for. The problem is the links it makes are like

/taxonomy/term/4

instead of

/forum/4

which is in turn aliased to

/forums/blah-forum-name

This introduces another problem in that forums are rendered as comments when accessed via /taxonomy/term/4. I'm using advanced forum module so my forums don't look anything like the normal comment style forums, and I don't want users to see them that way.

I've been trying to figure out how to use the api so I can at least get /forum/4 which I believe when l() is called on it will give the alias. Currently the module uses taxonomy_term_path($term), and the calls l() on that, which is what gives me the link I don't want.

thanks for any help!
