    [Forum] Forum Index help

    Hello, I recently upgraded to vB4.0.2.
    The upgrade went through fine, with one catch, I cannot access my Forum Index page.
    The CMS page works fine, the blogs as well. I can get to user profiles and posts of users but I cannot figure out how to get to the index.
    I'm hoping it's some simple mistake I made considering I'm not very web savvy.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    How about if you go to forum.php?

    http://www.yourdomainhere.com/forumdirectory/forum.php (or however your site is configured, try going to the forum.php directly and see what happens.)

    The three files involved here are:

    index.php [acts as a traffic director, sends you to content.php [CMS] or forum.php [forum], depending on the setting inside the index.php file.)
    content.php [Your CMS Home Page]
    forum.php [Your Forum Home Page]
    To be updated...

      I tried that just now and it brings me to a Not Found Page.
      I tried doing :
      .com/forums.php
      .com/index.php
      and the same thing happened.

      When I go to .com/forums/index.php it takes me to my CMS page.

        Try going to .com/forums/forum.php (your forum home page). Can you get there? Do you want your index.php page to take you to your forums or to your CMS?

        If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

          I figured out the issue was that the URL's only work if I do not include the www. at the beginning of the URL.
          The problem now is some of my plugins do not work properly with the skewed URL's.

          How do I fix that? Also how do I make the Forums my Index?
