Can't see my Admin panel on phpBB

    My problem is that whenever I go to the Admin section of my phpbb message board, I get redirected to the forum index. As a result I can't do any admin stuff so please help! I'm not sure how it happened, but here's my story:

    I recently bought www.grungeforum.com and had it moved over to my server. Then I went into the Admin section to turn the board back on (had turned it off for the move). Then I made cosmetic changes to my overall header and footer.

    Somehow I lost the link to "Go to administration panel" and when I try to go there directly via the URL I get redirected to the forum index :confused:

    Have you removed a line of code with the {ADMIN_LINK} in? Something like:

    <div align="center"><span class="copyright"><br />{ADMIN_LINK}<br />

    Are you logging in with the main admin account?

    That would be funny, trying to access the admin section under a member account.

    This is what caused the problem. It seems you can't simply type board.com/admin into the browser...

    ^ similar to :
    <div id="wrapfooter">
    	<!-- IF U_ACP --><span class="gensmall">[ <a href="{U_ACP}">{L_ACP}</a> ]</span><br /><br /><!-- ENDIF -->
    Code (markup):
