    Hi zip,

    Rename your "forum.php" file to "index.php"

    Rename forum.php to index.php and then go into the admin control panel, somewhere in the vbulletin options there will be something on the lines of 'script for forum homepage' it will already say forum.php so just change that to index.php.

    That way all the links in the forum for the homepage will point to the right file. If you don't change it, the links will still be pointing to forum.php which of course no longer exists.
