This is hard to explain. I was installing a new forum using the Softaculous, don't know how it happened but it did.

I can not locate the seniors database, yet when I click on one other link from a different source it opens to seniors.

I do know my computer remembers ever move I make, and when I attempt to type it adds for me, I figure this is part of the problem.

It looks like it's in a folder called "test_board".

Softaculous should never be used. I would think it has something to do with that. Did you have a erver backup at all.

I always had problems using the way it should be done, Softaculous is the way I have been doing them for years. I know I have been told many times not to use this method. I am not a computer or coder genius, old fashion ways for me.

I figure it's the dam computer remembering things, when you start typing it adds the old memory as soon as you hit the first or second letter. Before I realized what was going on it happened.

Server doesn't do backups, I do very little backups, due to it being a small forum.

Looks like no one knows how to solve this, so I'll just move on.
Thanks for the response.

If it was Softaculous and you have no server backup I don't think there is a way to get it back. Maybe someone else has an idea about it.

Can't say I've ever used Softaculous. I install via uploading SMF with ftp direct to the folder/root I want it to go to.

If you want to stop the PC remembering Ron you need to clear out the browser cache, via settings and I think in most cases go 'Privacy and Security' then you should be presented with the options you need.

If you want something installed again then you can always ask me, I don't mind. I think you know you can trust me by now.

UPDATE: I've just had a look at the 'test_board' folder Ron and the 'Themes' and 'Sources' folders have a 1 in the folder name, this mean the site will not work.

When I rename the folder to their default the site works, see the attached image.

As I'm not sure what you've done or why they were renamed but I have set them back as they were.

If you need my help let me know

Yes, it could be a browser caching issue. You should clear your browser's cache regularly.

However, it could also be a redirect issue where a link is redirected to another url...
