I have the YAF forum folder setup as a sub directory of my already existing website. The only way I was able to get access to the forum on my test machine was to add :


to my web.config in the forum folder, otherwise it would tell me that the forum was not configured as an application or something along those lines.

As of right now when I navigate to my test forum I get auto logged in with my Windows profile.

(As you can tell I am pretty new to this so be gentle, I'm sure I just goofed up somewhere along the lines)

What's your question?

is authentication set to forms or windows??

My main website folders web.config file was set to windows, i changed it to forms, and now something really odd is happening, when I click on my link to the message board from the main sites index page(forum/forum.aspx) I instead get taken to my login page for the already existing site (root/login.aspx), which should have no relationship to the forum.aspx page.
