I am so lost!
 

Well this is ridiculous first of all. The small home button under the nav bar, when I click it, it just takes me to my rot folder and then I have to click onto index.php to get that open!

This channel prefix thing is pissing me off, how the heck do I make forums?!?! Whenever I make forums, then I flick the smallf orum navigation button it takes me to a ugly page and shows sub forums and stuff!

Heres some screenshots of that I am talking about. This new vBulletin system is hell of a lot confusing compared to the last version and super hard to figure it out, spending $240 I regret it so far..

Small home button:

Once clicked it redirects to here:
http://gyazo.com/60d6672de42e57bfa43ba8d087033ed0

Then this is what my forums look like:
http://gyazo.com/65f2cb8fe3ae7011a94288a755526699

Why is there so many channels?


Then when I click the "forum" channel it shows this:
http://gyazo.com/2fe597e276038dc0533a65661167ba08

thats freaking ugly and I didnt make any subforums so its like wtf...


Can someone decently describe how to make forums properly or something, this is driving me unbelievably insane.

Best place to get support would be the official support forums at www.vbulletin.com/forum.

There is a vB5 forum over there, as long as you are licenced you should be able to post.

The second one, the directory listing of /forums/ is a server issue, not a vBulletin issue. Your server should be configured to automatically display index.php as a directory index file- it clearly exists, you can see it in the list.

I'm going to assume you are using apache2, so add this to your config file:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Or if something like that already exists, just modify it.
