Just launched our site http://www.minivtec.com and ALL references to the FORUM link to a dead 404 page. :mad:
How do we OR where do we adjust those references to link properly?

They're not dead, you've entered the name of the forum homepage as forum instead of index in admincp>settings

Have you edited some templates recently?
For the "Index"..etc you need to look in this setting Forums Home Page Options

What do you have here?:
Forum Home: Options
Looks like you edited the index.php file but didn't change a setting or path

I think the problem might lie in this part:
In case you have applied SEO - SEF URL rewrite rules, make sure you have renamed the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess. If there is already a non-empty .htaccess file, check it and make sure the necessary rules are uncommented.

lol, you got there just before me.
Looks like he did the old edit way, to get rid of the /forum.php on the url, but didn't change the other bit we're talking about.
Best if he tells us what he edited.

Go to Settings, then to Navigation Manager.
Click on edit for the Forums tab
The : Target URL
is where forum.php is, this is what is throwing the error when you click on the Forums tab on your forum
Target URL
This is the URL that the Tab or Link should redirect you to. It can be a relative target or a full url. It can also be blank (sometimes useful for tabs, not really useful for links).Try leaving it blank or putting in your url

Did that work?

I see your site it now changed back to the default /forum.php
It was fine as you had it before, you just needed to alter what I posted above

Just one more thing.
When you click Edit on the Forum tab and you see here:
Append 'tabid' to URL click the right to 'no'
As at the moment you have /?tabid=2
on your url.
Hope it works.
Just checked you site again, looks like it all works fine now.
Glad to have helped
