i have the ldm_upload in the correct place but noticed in the full location the file says

httpdocs/_ldm/forums/ldm_upload

but the address should be

httpdocs/forums/ldm_upload which file do i edit to change this line?

That particular piece of code is using this logic:

-> if you've set the LDM/admin setting 'local_file_root', then it's simply concatenating 'local_file_root_prefix and 'upload_dir', both set on the LDM admin/settings page

-> Alternatively, it's concatenating LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT, 'local_file_root_prefix' and 'upload_dir', where

LDM_DOCUMENT_ROOT is either:
-> taken from your php.ini' $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
or
-> set in includes/local_init.php

My guess is that you've set local_file_root_prefix to _ldm on the ldm admin settings page.
