Your forum root is the folder that has some of these files in it, among others:
forumdisplay.php, showthread.php, newreply.php.

It is the upper most directory of your forum. Sometimes this is your "www" or "public_html" folder, sometimes it's in another directory like public_html/forums.

If you post a link we can confirm for sure which yours is.

As for the reply box. this is vBulletin 3.6, much older than the VB 4.x you are using, you just can't use this reply box, completely different editor and code.

Your forum root is the same as your website root, probably a folder called "public_html" or "www" depending on the server setup.
