I have had trouble from the start with my forum with having to have the '/public_html' path at the end of my forum url and for some reason it is a must to have to be able to use the forums properly. Can anybody help me on this?
edit: 3/22/18 - My forums is now completely broken I cant get into my admin cp and the forum itself is not working at all. Please fix.
you have to remove it in ~/inc/settings.php file & at Site Details page of Configuration section in forum admin panel.

in settings.php file change values like below
$settings['bburl'] = "http://forums.unstoppablegamingnetwork.com";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = "forums.unstoppablegamingnetwork.com";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/";

clear your browser cookies by clicking link on this page
close your browser, reopen it & log into forum admin panel

again change the board url & cookie settings as given above at below location
forum admin panel >> Configuration [Settings] >> Site Details

I am using IXWebhosting
Still having my trouble if anyone can help me.
if you can PM me temporary access to your forum admin panel & the files (FTP) then I can check it
(you can provide your own credentials & change them later)
Hello Unstoppable Gaming,
I just wanted to ask if the URL "unstoppablegamingnetwork.com" is pointing to public_html where you have uploaded MyBB because currently I don't see index.php or portal.php on the above URL.

Regards
WallBB

Yes mybb is installed in public_html but, whenever I try to use it without the public_html in my link like this 'http://forums.unstoppablegamingnetwork.com/' my forum breaks. Now I am also having worse issues like not being able to login at all and not being able to get into my admin panel. If you can help with all of these that would be great.
Your public root is not assigned to 'public_html' it seems. Have you created that 'public_html' directory manually?
This is an invalid path

however, this works
http://forums.unstoppablegamingnetwork.com/public_html/images/default_avatar.png

To fix the issues related to loading the resources you can try adding this line to your header template after meta tags:
<base href="//forums.unstoppablegamingnetwork.com/public_html/" target="_self">

For your login and related issues append 'public_html' to your 'Site Details' under 'Board Settings' in ACP : Board URL, Homepage URL, Cookie Path
For example set cookie path to:
/public_html/

Hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) several times, clear cookies and cache of browser and see what happens...

To set the routing altogether you can try adding these 2 lines in your .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*) public_html/$1 [L]
* Note that this may take some times to reflect ...
