Thanks for your help, I apparently have a problem with IE7 because when I went to reply here it wouldn’t let me login here either!! I downloaded Firefox and I was able to login to both my site and this site. Never had that problem before, is that a cookie problem? Anyway I’m happy now. Thanks again.
Bad news: when I went back to my site later, the formatting was all gone (white page with black and blue lettering to the left), and to get the page back to the normal bbpress format I added the http:// again, which put me back in a loop. I’m using IE (newest one) and I don’t understand how this can be an intermittent issue, but all I changed was the http:// in the config file.
I found my mistake, I had been putting the full address including http:// in the config.php, and when I took that out, all was well. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Hi, no I had left the $bb->mod_rewrite = false; although I did try changing it to true once but with no success. I don’t know how to create .htaccess but like I said I’ve never had a problem setting up a WordPress site. Is that something specific to bbpress that I should know? I would have thought that my db/site host GoDaddy was big enough that if this was a problem someone would have come across it before! Thanks for the reply anyway.
