Hi,

I have tried to work it out myself but can only find info on moving to another host.I am trying to move my forum from it's position of /forum to /. This is what I have done.

I downloaded /forum to my computer then uploaded it to /. Then in admin I changed the board url to reflect this change. Next I CHMOD inc/config.php , inc/settings.php,uploads/, uploads/avatars/ to 777.

My trouble is that when I go to the new address of the board I log in, get the message that I have successfully logged in, but then I am returned to the board without being logged in.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Pete.

Sounds like a cookie issue. Go into the settings.php file and edit the forum URL and cookie settings to reflect the new location.

Yes !!! That did the trick. Thanks and have a great day KuJoe.

KuJoe is right

When you've done that, clear your cache and cookies.

You must change the settings also in the ACP or else next time you save a setting, the cookie settings will be overwritten and you will revert to the old cookie settings.
