I have set up my message board in the default directory called Forum, but I now want to change the folder name to be something else. Lets just say "board" for example. When I just change the folder name and put all the files in the new folder, I can see my forum, yet ALL of the configuration had gone to hell (i.e. colors, spacing, etc.) Anyone have any idea why or what I can do to make a smooth transfer?
That is caused by the fact that the application object variables used to store the font/colour information in memory use the directory name to make the variable names unique. If you change the directory name after they have been loaded, it can't find them anymore since it is looking for variables with the wrong name.
Fixing is easy: just force a reload of the variables by changing anything in any of the option in the Admin Options or run http://<mysite>/<myfolder>/setup.asp?rc=5 once.
