thanks but unfortunately that doesn't help me at all. to begin with the actual link (directory) info i typed in during install isn't there so me entering the link in the config doesn’t replace the messed up entry.

as a second and unrelated issue - though this will come up next - my phpbb is on the different server under a different url

so now what? i've been searching for a long time and i haven't seen a single thing about using a different URL for the forum link or where the actual code is stored so i can replace it. the config does not have it


i appreciate the effort though, thanks,

steven
