Forum Display--simple question

[diavolo11]

Well I hope this is an easy question-in the address bar
why does my forum display this:
=0b701a9619b0984708cc2be2a5114c68&forumid=1

instead of other boards that just have this:
=&forumid=1
--------------------------

Is this something that has to be done in the control panel? I have another vb, but I am not having this problem on it and I made sure it was all configured the same.
No matter what is done I always get long display names instead of just short easy to remember ones.

Any help would help..

You can go directly to index.php or forumdisplay.php?forumid=16 or any other URL without a problem - it will automatically add the s=longstringhere into the URL for you.
