Log in to the control panel > go to Forum Skin Configuration > place the correct path to the styles and images directories

All settings reflect valid paths and I see my image directory on the
skin configuration page but the image source looks like
/forum/image.gif -- forum_images is missing.
I tried updating settins and got the folloving error:
-----------------

Everything works if I hard-code
strImagePath = "forum_images/"
in admin_skin_configure.asp

Reupload all the files as this can be caused by corrupted files

I'm actually running on 127.0.0.1... Replaced all files with the new ones -- no changes.

The problem is occurring because the forum can not read in the global variables, which is your configuration data for the forum.
The error suggests that you have a corrupted database, which is not uncommon with Access. You need to open the Access database and select compact and repair database from the tools menu.
However, you should look at using a real database like mySQL or SQL Server as Access is a flat desktop file and often becomes corrupted when being used in these circumstances.

All this time I didn't close the browser. Restarting it fixed everything. Was it caching initial configuration somehow?
