You will need to move all of your files to the root as well, then change that setting above.

ok
thanks bud, so wherever my root folder is, i move all my folders and files there, delete the old one and then im set?

You can login via ftp and move the /forum folder to the public_html directory... no need to delete anything.. just move them.

I just looked at your site and you are running phpbb in your root at the moment... you will need to remove or move this first so you don't have a conflict.

ok but i have a question. the link that redirects people for the forgot your password: click here link was working perfectly but now when someone tried to do that, it gave them a 404 page not found. any reason as to why this happened or how i can fix this?

Make sure and change the location of your "forum" in the settings and also the url in the settings too. Once you correct those it will work fine.

Once you are done using it, it's best to remove it completely :)
