Site keeps corrupting and showing like so:-
http://www.eu-sf.com/forum/
No idea, why, it's just randomly done it. I've backed up the sql database, deleted then installed a fresh forum, linked it to the database, it worked fine but now it's gone back to this again.
Please help as I'm losing members loyalty by the minute.

Thanks both of you!
It's really wierd because I didn't change it/nor have I been online to change it.
Any ideas why it would have done so on its own?
It's not going to change on it's own, it's especially not going to just remove the /forum bit from the end. The only way a setting may change unexpectedly is if you've edited it in ./inc/settings.php but then haven't edited it in the ACP again afterwards.

The co-owner apparently tried install a plugin, that's why. It happened to me previous when trying to install a shoutbox. Can someone please explain why it may be doing this when plugins are being installed?
Again, doing that isn't going to change a setting like this, especially just removing a bit off the end. Maybe someone updated a setting incorrectly in the database directly or something, and the plugin ran code to rebuild the settings, which would mean it'd use the incorrect setting. Either way, somewhere somebody changed this setting to the incorrect value, it wouldn't change to this value like this by itself.

So how is it possible for me to locate and fix the incorrect setting? Some plugins work but not all as I said. A few cause the website to end up how it was earlier, others have no effect whatsoever. I don't even activate the setting and it does it.
I don't really know how else I can say it, it will not be changing all by itself itself, and a plugin will not be changing it like this. Have you or anybody else ever changed settings in the database or in settings.php?? As I've already said, this sort of thing will happen if someone has changed a setting in the database or in settings.php, because things will be out of sync.

The database I haven't and don't know how to touch. The only thing I've done to 'settings.php' is change it's permissions to 777 as suggested in tools & maintenence.
