If in Cpanel, highlight all folders in the directory that holds your forum files. Click move, a dialogue box will pop up. It should have the path in it were you are as in: "public_html/forum". Just leave the words "public_html" in the dialogue box and press ok. Upload and use repair_settings.php. That should be it.

What has repair_settings to do with it?

You moved the forum files so you have to change all the urls

Change to what?

If your forum was at: www.mysite.com/forum and you put it in public_html than you have moved the site from a folder "forum" to public_html = www.mysite.com, therefore you must use repair_settings.php to change the urls so the database knows where things are.

Not if you want it in public_html which is www.mysite.com

No, arcadeholics.net would be your public_html.

OK Thanks, I understand now, because that is what I see when I open the file.
Will do this later this morning.

It would not move the files under that name, I got error message. So I blanked it out and clicked moved.

That's about it, history, arcadeholics.net is floating somewhere in outer space. One more failure.

As soon as you open the files. Otherwards not in the public_html, because that is where I was trying to move them.

The forum is gone, yet I can see the files in the cpanel, yet when I click on arcadeholics.net, it shows files empty. So who knows where the files went?
