FInally. After a lot of work, I got the portal to run. I have only one problem left. The header (the default vbulletin head that has user cp, FAQ, member list, etc) is not going to the right url. For some reason it isn't tagging "/forum/" onto it, so when I click user cp, it goes to
http://www.synergysanctum.com/usercp.php instead of
http://www.synergysanctum.com/forums/usercp.php. Any help would be wonderful. THanks.
