Hi Jim,
So apparently the php in the folder the forums are in when haywire and they had to restart it to get it to stop. SO now I can get to the index page and admin but if I click on any of our links I get:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
... nothing has been deleted that Im aware of but Im not sure how to proceed.
