I really, REALLY like vBadvanced. I've only had a couple of problems and here's one of them (I'll look for the other again before I post a new thread.)

When I'm viewing a post several forum levels deep, the clickable forum navigation structure (right below or above the navigation bar, sometimes inside of it, depending on your layout) allows a user to click the name of a forum and then end up in that forum. Click the name of the board (the first item in the hierarchy) takes you to the forum home. My problem with this is that it takes me to the home page of my web (cmps_index.php?) rather than index.php. How can this be fixed? When I'm viewing my forum, the only way to get back there is to click home, and then forum again.

The strange thing is that I notice here when I click the forum's name in the navbar, I'm taken to the forum home (forum/index.php?) rather than the site home. How was this accomplished?

Thanks!

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

Do you have that option set to the full URL to your forum?

Of course, wouldn't my forum otherwise stop working if it wasn't? Everything works great, I just would like that navigational link to head to index.php rather than cmps_index.php. Any quick way to do this?

Also check your FORUMHOME option that tells the system what file to use as "Home" while in the forum.

well so I didn't rename my cmps_index.php file (why would i? am i supposed to?) My ForumHome option is set to cmps_index.php? which is what I thought was needed in order for it to work. After changing it back to index, I see that I am wrong! Thanks!
