no forum link, forum displaying incorrectly

[digeraticular]

Hi. I've just installed vBadvanced and from what I see it is wonderful software.

I have a problem though. There is no link that takes you straight to a forum display. How can I add this?

Also, if you click on the 'latest topics', one of them, it takes you to that thread. click on the link at the top for 'Wish Commune Forums' where it would take you to the forum index, instead it takes you straight to the portal. what must I do to fix this?

I am still having trouble with this issue. Is anyone willing to help me resolve this?

For the link, http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41

For the second issue, what do you have set for your 'Forum URL' option under your main vB options?

I have my forums in my root directory, as that is the main purpose of the site.

and my navbar doesn't contain that text:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
