Tigga - unfortunately this doesn't seem to affect it at all. I can change that setting to anything I like and it doesn't use it. For example if I changed it to:

<smallfont><form action="/forum/anything-i-like/member.php"

it will still use http://mysite.com. I've checked my vB options and they all look ok. 'URL' is set to http://mysite.com/forum and 'URL of Homepage' is set to http://mysite.com.

When visiting the homepage all links on the login box (register, forgot password etc. all point to my main site root, i.e. http://mysite.com and it tries to find the member.php as http://mysite.com/member.php. As my forum is http://mysite.com/forum it doesn't work. If I go to the forum and logout there and hover over any of the links, they are all correct, i.e. http://mysite.com/forum/register.php etc. Its only if I do this from the myvbindex page there is an issue, i.e. http://mysite.com/home.php.

BTW: If I move my home.php page from the webroot into /forum then it works fine, but I guess that's obvious because that's where member.php is.

Thx.

CodeDawg - If I can get the install/upgrade script and the install instructions finished up soon I'll contact you. ;)

goldfarbm - What did you set for the path to your forum? My best guess would be that you have a trailing slash after the path which is causing that error...

Intex - I think I may have misunderstood you. Do your users have to be logged in before they are able to view the index page? If so, then you'll need to edit your error_nopermission_loggedout template and change a few things in there. You *should* be able to just add $bburl/ in front of the action part of the form, and before each of the links in that template. If for some reason $bburl/ doesn't work then just use the full url to your forum instead. You can also edit your regular header template and add $bburl/ in front of each link there so that all the buttons will point to the right place as well.

Tigga that worked a treat - thx :).

Another question for you then I believe I'm finished with my homepage and ready to release.

There is a hack here on vB.org which allows you to display a random image from photopost on the vbhome hack. Is this relatively easy to implement? It would be a very nice addition for those people who use Photopost which I believe many do.

Intex - If you use the same instructions and apply them to your index page and templates instead it should still work.

Tigga, im not moving to vb3 untill i can have some type of front page, would you be able to send it to me as well?

i would be most thankfull :D the hack rocks for 2.x :D

Im having a problem here mates.
I have installed this hack and it works great accept for one thing.
Users cant log out anymore ?
How can i fix this.
Mayby it will affect the users that are trying to log in to and cant ?

have them clear their cookies, close all browser windows, then they should be good :)


or have them delete your cookies specifically :\ thats abit harder to tell them how to do considering browser/os things that you wouldnt know

Is there a way to prevent the posts in the designated News forum from showing up on the Latest Threads list? I've got it set to private and news posts are still showing up on the home page.

Thanks

Also, is there a way to link the title of the news post to the post ( send it to the same place that the "... (read more)" link does?

Thanks,
Mbowers

Edit:

Nevermind, I got it :glasses:

Did text formatting by hand as you can see, but it's late and I'm a noob...

Do you have vB3 version made but are waiting for vB3 hacks to be allowed so you can release it?
