OK, I have got it working to an extent. A problem I am having is that my forums are at
http://forums.method-call.com but whenever I try to log in from the portal page it tries to access
http://www.method-call.com/login.php. How do I prevent this?
OK, it also seems that to get images to appear on the portal page I had to change the image path setting to forums/images/etc and now on the forum page all the images are set to
http://forums.method-call.com/forums/whatever.
