Full Version: Editing top links and using a backup to fix an issue

Hello, I have two questions which I need some help with if anyone has time:

1. I just moved my website (of which the forum is a part of) and now two of my top links no longer work as they point to the old site. I need to edit these asap so that the tab takes you to the correct page on the new site. I have read a few tutorials on this but I still can't figure out where exactly I go to edit these - I am a neewbie so clear instructions needed!
On my site the 2 toplinks needed changed are the 'articles' and the 'home' tabs.

2. When my site was moved somehow the person I paid to do it has messed up my forum and now it looks different to how it originally did. Its a bit of a nightmare to be honest! I use 'the cure' template but I had cutomised it slightly. Is there some way of getting the old template back using the last backup I made?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My forum is www.loveyourcurls.com.au/forum
Mybb version 1.6
for the forum related links, we generally use {$mybb->settings['bburl']} as the base url and add links
with it like below in the header template of the theme

<ul>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
</ul>
