That is EXACTLY the code that Tino just gave you...

I'm not saying it isn't, Rjen. What I am saying is, I couldn't figure out what to change based on several attempts to see if I could stop it from overriding the Pretty URL mod.

I tried changing it (in various ways).
Removing it had no effect.
Commenting it out.

I looked at temporarily changing other parts where the instance "forum" showed.

We don't tell pretty url's to use /forum/

We might have a link somewhere which points to action=forum when we rewrite the default home page url. That's in the front page hook. Where it's getting modified to /forum/ I don't know as it's not done via us.

I think you can specify the forum url in the admin settings in TPortal.

The Pretty URLs mod is making it /forum/

TinyPortal is just making the action /index.php?action=forum and the Pretty URL mod is taking that code and making it /forum/ - maybe vbgamer might know if TP's code can be overridden. Maybe, in the future, TP could consider allowing users to define what the forum is called.

I don't think there's a setting for it, but I might be wrong.

I get that it's not wise making changes which could break future upgrades, and I respect that I am given so much useful help. I really do admire the work with TinyPortal. All SMF portals are quite hard for me to dive into, but that's me. At some point, I will be adding that my site uses TinyPortal because of how powerful it is. If I could code better, I'd love to share blocks and stuff, but what takes some people 30 minutes to 1 hour would take me multiple weeks. 

One day, perhaps but I do appreciate the help and support.
