My IIS server setup is such that instead of the default folder (/inetpub/www), the web site is simply a folder off the D:, as in D:\www. Inside of that folder is where my main web applications sits, for example D:\www\app
I've put the snitz forum in there, ie D:\www\app\forum\.

However, during testing, I discovered that if I click on the "Forgot Password" link, and I enter my username & email address, it sends me an email with a link in it to re-enter a new password. Unfortunately that link is invalid (although almost correct).

It incorrectly gives me this:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/password.asp?pwkey=123xyz

Instead of this:
http://www.mysite.com/app/forum/password.asp?pwkey=123xyz

My .asp skills are very weak. I took a look inside password.asp and I believe that this is the line that builds the path in the email:

strMessage = strMessage & strForumURL & "password.asp?pwkey=" & pwkey & vbNewline & vbNewline

My asp skills are pretty weak, I'm thinking either (1) there's a place in the admin menus somewhere that lets me set the correct strForumURL variable, or (2) I need to modify that line in password.asp but I don't know what to change it to.

Can anyone help me?

cheers

In the admin panel, under "Main Forum Configuration" you probably need to fix the Forum URL.
