If your forum URL was changed before you had a chance to do what is required (see above message), please do the following:

1) use query analyzer, or any tool that can execute SQL query against the database

2) execute this query: update pgd_config set forumdir = 'http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/'

3) [2.x version only] then, use your browser to load this page: http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/ini.asp(x)

[Tutorial]: rename your forum directory (Samuel)

Our forum security model is tied to the name of the URL. If you would like to change the directory name (or forum URL in general), please do the following:

Before changing the directory name:
- log on as admin
- go the admin panel and rename the "Forum URL" to the desired one (under "basic configuration").
Use your ftp program to rename the forum directory
[2.x version only] type this in your browser's URL box:http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/ini.aspx; and hit "enter"
done!
