I've tried putting slashes every which where, and called my host who "doesn't support forum software"... so I have come to you.

The host is LIQUIDWEB by the way.

If that's really the contents of your cmps_index.php then start with a fresh copy from the download package because the copy pasted above is totally messed up (it looks like a copy of the file was copy & pasted in the middle of itself).

Well I did that, and it works now, validating to me that the forumpath and everything works fine.

I can only think to blame dreamweaver. I never copied the contents of that file except to paste here.

Consider this situation resolved.

THANK YOU KW802

wshinds, glad you got it sorted it out. :cool:

There have been reports of older versions of Dreamweaver messing up files but supposedly the newer versions don't do it. I don't have DW so I can't verify but I do remember other DW users having issues.
