I was wondering how I can change the forums link to point to www.forums.mywebsite.net instead of www.mywebsite.net/modules.php?name=Forums.
sorry if this is a noob question.

Depending on where the link is, you'll need to edit
- blocks/block-Modules.php (for the left modules menu)
- theme.php or header.html of your theme (for the top menu on the header)

This is blocks/block-Modules.php. I don'rt know what to edit?

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

global $prefix, $db, $admin, $language, $currentlang;

$ThemeSel = get_theme();
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/module.php")) {
include("themes/".$ThemeSel."/module.php");
if (is_active($default_module) AND file_exists("modules/$default_module/index.php")) {
$def_module = $default_module;
} else {
$def_module = "";
}
}

$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT main_module FROM ".$prefix."_main"));
$main_module = filter($row['main_module'], "nohtml");

/* If the module doesn't exist, it will be removed from the database automaticaly */
$result2 = $db->sql_query("SELECT title FROM " . $prefix . "_modules");
while ($row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2)) {
$title = filter($row2['title'], "nohtml");
$a = 0;
$handle=opendir('modules');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ($file == $title) {
$a = 1;
}
}
closedir($handle);
if ($a == 0) {
$db->sql_query("DELETE FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE title='$title'");
}
}

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */

$content .= "<big>·</big> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a> \n";
$result3 = $db->sql_query("SELECT title, custom_title, view FROM " . $prefix . "_modules WHERE active='1' AND title!='$def_module' AND inmenu='1' ORDER BY custom_title ASC");

I'd use Sommaire instead for your modules (site navigation) block. You can get it at my site. Either 2.1.1 or 3.0beta should work just fine. Sounds like you are wanting to run this as standalone phpBB, so just disable your nuke forums and add a link using Sommaire to your standalone version.
