test forum on shared Server causing havoc

[wmlvb]

I have a clone test forum and and live forum. Since the lasted upgrade to 3.8 I have had probelme with test. I was not able to log into admin and I no longer had have a Forum page.

I fixed the log issue by chanaging the Cookie location to /testvb

I still no longer have a forum home page in testvb and do not know which file to edit to tell the link I want for my forum. Can someone help answer this.?

Also I am now having issues with my live forum including

.staying logged in and passwords not being remember even though that is checked.

.Another problem is my newest smileys are no longer showing in post even though they did work before I fixed the admincp log in issue for testvb

.also any signature that was editied in admin area and has html is showing up as code.

Can someone please tell me how to fix these 4 issues? thanks
