I followed your instructions and it worked!......sorta. The page loaded and it looked like it would be fine but when I logged in, even though my name was visible on the same page where vBExternal shows forum users online, I wasn't being shown as logged in on that same page and the Pm's didn't show either.
So after reading what to do if that happens and what the cause might be, I went to the control panel and changed the cookies from /forum/ to .mydomain. It didn't solve the problem with being shown as logged in on the non-vb page and it is apparently preventing me from logging in to the control panel. When I log in to the admin cp, the successful message comes up and then I go right back to the admin cp log in. Also instead of it being remembered which template I prefer, when I log on I have to change from the default to my preference.
HELP! How do I get back in to the admin control panel?
