    ehh will check real fast. I thought I had the answer but I just did this recently.

    EDIT: Simply change your board URL

    Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Board URL

    Hi, change it to what sorry? I'm sure I tried changing it with no luck, should I be changing it to http://onefootballforum.co.uk/index.php?forums/ ?


    Edit, if so, that URL did not fix it as it didn't work. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your response!

    No you want to change it to where you want it to appear. http://onefootballforum.co.uk I am http://hitching.it/forums/ because that is where I want the board index for instance.( I have wordpress in the root in my case) Also, it clearly states under that field "The primary URL to your board. Do not include a trailing "/" or "index.php". The URL should look similar to this: http://www.example.com/forum

    In your case the first link I pasted in this response.
