in the theme i am using on my website (http://www.cog-ffxi.com/), the "forum" word at the top of the page points to the /forum/ folder within the geeklog's directory. But i want it to point to another forum on a different server. how can i change this?

You can edit the header.thtml to do this. Remove the plg_menu_elements variable and add your own with simple HTML.

ok but when i went there i didnt find the "plg_menu_elemtns"...

instead i found this...
<a href="{site_url}/forum">Forum</a> | 

so then i tried to change the /forum to the off-site url i want it too (http://s93031507.onlinehome.us/clan_of_god/phpbb2/index.php). But then when i uploaded it and all it went to

http://s93031507.onlinehome.us/clan_of_god/public_htmlhttp://s93031507.onlinehome.us/clan_of_god/phpbb2/index.php

Confused

The {site_url} is a variable that Geeklog replaces with the URL of your site. So either remove it or add the URL to your forum as a relative URL.
