I think one of the first problems is that you have duplicated many of the scripts and folders that are normally in the /forums/ directory. For example, global.php, the inc folder, and css.php are all in your root folder AND in your /forums/ folder. This may have been the cause of the portal login problem.

I would recommend removing the double instances of all MyBB files. Then you should be able to edit the /portal.php file and have it point to the files in /forums/global.php, /forums/css.php etc.

I am not too sure if this will work, so if someone could verify what I have said, I would be grateful.

You should have tried this first near the top of the portal.php:

// set the path to your forums directory here (without trailing slash)
$forumdir = "./forums";

And you shouldn't need to edit any other file reference in portal.php.

Go into Admin CP --> Settings --> General Configuration and make Cookie Path: /

OK, I have done everything said , but now the CSS isn't working, any ideas of what to tweak to get it to work for me? Thanks for all the help.

Ok try doing this:

Go into Admin CP --> Templates --> *Expand your template* --> portal

Replace $headerinclude with:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=$charset" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="forums/jscripts/general.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="forums/jscripts/dw_viewport.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="forums/jscripts/menu.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="forums/css.php?theme=$theme[tid]" />
