Thank you Tim for trying to set me straight. I appreciate your time and patience. Thanks Lincoln for helping me out. I'm getting schooled on building forums.
The hosting provider said to talk to you. If I get nowhere, cancel the account. I'll give it another working day. The vanilla forums.org says I'm not a member. I just want to talk with a person and get my forum back and not get passed around.
Okay, not sure how that happened. I'm using Yanilla Forums for my site and it is not letting me retrieve my password. I'm the admin. Perhaps we can start there. Should I contact YF directly for support?
