ok never mind sorted it, it was also a template issue 😀 thank you
thank you so much for your support with that link in the end i ported the code from an original wp theme(stock with the install) into a file called bbpress.php and inserted that file into the custom theme im using, i also removed the edit function from the original code as its not required on that page.
my next question if i can is that that page shows its name in the tab as kixeyeunion.uk/forums instead of saying Forums is there anyway to change that?
