Gizmo,
You explained the problem quite well. It is exactly what has happened.
However, even when I move the "forum" folder to htdocs/paduaprep.com/MusePP/ (where I currently have it, to demonstrate the problem) I still get a "Page Not Found" error.
That's why my initial question to the Post asked was there something in the scripting(code?) that was affecting this.
It does not make sense to me. I just wanted your input to confirm something out of the ordinary is happening.
Thanks.
