Hi everyone,

The term 'If it aint broke don't fix it springs to mind here' but too late.

I changed the wording on the 'Script name for Forum Home Page' (Forum Home Page Options) without realising that I would need to manually rename the forumhome.php. When I clicked on the Forum Tab (old 'New' Tab that I had renamed when I installed the program in April), I get a 404 page error. I then changed the wording back to 'Forum' in the Home Page Options, thinking it would just go back to the previous setting. Noooooooooo, I still get the 404 Page.

Any nudges in the right direction to get the tab working again would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance.

case matters, so would need to be 'forum', as noted in the lil help info.

and its not the forumhome.php file...there is none, but you would need to go into the forumhome script within vbulletin and manually rename that from 'forum' to whatever it needs to be.

This option allows you to set the script name of the page that acts as your forum home page. By default this will be 'forum' (meaning forum.php but you may want to call it whatever else you like for your own purposes.

If you change this value you must manually rename the forumhome PHP script to match the new value.

I just want it back to 'Forum', which I've done but it keeps taking me back to the 404 page.

Thanks for replying TeknoSounds
