I have read so many threads on this but I can't seem to pinpoint what
is wrong.

When I login to my FORUM (vBa also) I get this path.

http://www.myserver.com/forum/forum/login.php
instead of
http://www.myserver.com/forum/login.php

I can stick the url in there after and get by but I would sure love to know
what is causing this

Admin CP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details => Forum URL

What do you have set for that option?

Sorry Brian,

I just did a restore, I didn't want to wait very long because no one could login.

Musn't get fired ;)

LOL

Right back at that same place wtf!
As soon as I configured vBa this started again... :(

To answer your question my path is as such:
http://www.mywebsite.com/forum

There's no way the CMPS would change anything with your forum... Can you post a link to your site?

Well Brian (thanks for putting up with me btw)

I have narrowed it down to two things:

1) Template
2) cookie prefix

I don't quite know which of the two it is but I will isolate this problem and
report back here. If its a cookie prefix limitation then it would be good to
tell others.

Okay!

I am happy to announce that the problem is not vBa related :D
Turns out this is the result of uploading a homepage style and attaching it as a child
to my Default forum style.

This was how I designed the style but it looks like I'm going to have to create a new
child and make the changes myself :)

I am just happy to of found the cause of this problem, it was starting to get on my
nerves! :)

So in the future if anyone has a /forum/forum/login.php problem remember
this little story.

Glad you were able to figure it out. :)
