I'm sorry bout posting bout my forum troubles but this time i just haven't found the answer to this. Ive spent a couple days already on the phpbb.com support forums and docs and I'm just stumped on how to fix this problem. I got the log in and all those errors fixed they are running smooth but i jsut got a biggie i think. I have it setup that when u create a user name u can the email validation..nothing outa thr ordinary. well it gets sent and when a user clicks the link to activate their account i get the dreaded 404. its also on lycos...that could help solve the problem. thanks for puttin up wit me bout this forum http://members.lycos.co.uk/forgotnamephp in case u want to see the problem urself
