   Hello Everyone,

   I changed the address (in settings) of the address to my forum and now everything is jacked up.

   it should be http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/

   but I removed the /bbpress/ to see if I could get the header to point back to my original page instead of the forum frontpage....which didnt work.

   Now I cant get to the general settings of bbpress to correct the address. Which php file in my bbpress folder on my server stores that info?..or where can I go to correct it?

   Also, whats the best way to make my header go to the home page of my site, not the homepage of the forum? I searched and all I saw were the "super header" option and the added link in the forum header phot0...neither of which will work for me. I have 2 different pictures for the headers so super header is out and I phinagled with the other option and it either was hidden or didnt look right.

   Thanks for any help in advance.

   Go into your database, do the following query:

   UPDATE (your $bb_table_prefix found in the config file goes here)topicmeta SET meta_value='http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/' WHERE meta_key='uri' LIMIT 1

   Ok, Thanks.

   Heres what I have in the bb-config.php:

   $bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

   So heres what I put:

   UPDATE (bb_)
   topicmeta SET
   meta_value='http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/' WHERE
   meta_key='uri' LIMIT 1

   Heres its response (I really didnt know if I need to leave the parenthesis etc in it...I have never queried a database before):

4. SQL query:
   UPDATE (
   bb_
   )topicmeta SET meta_value = 'http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/' WHERE meta_key = 'uri' LIMIT 1

   MySQL said:

   #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'topicmeta SET
   meta_value='http://www.portcityunderground.com/bbpress/' WHERE
   m' at line 2

any suggestions on what next?..

Thank You!
