Hi,
I've installed and tried the forum on my computer and everything worked perfect but when I installed it at the webserver nothing showed up. I took a look at the error log file and saw that it complained about not finding the pages so I figured out that I needed to change the default search string e.g. include_once('sf-includes.php'); to include_once('/my/webserver/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-includes.php');
So I did that on many many places…  After that I was able to install the forum but it seems that it can't find the css files.
So my questions are:
1, Is there an easy way to change all links?
2, Where do I change the link to the css file so I will get the formatting and images?
Regards,
Fredrik

well, if you changed all those locations, probably not much worked… no clue why you thought you needed to do that… no changes are required for it to work…. lets go back to square one….
I would reupload everything and start over… if you had issues installing lets start with those problems before making changes that are going to cause bigger issues like you are now seeing… after re-uploading with original files, activating and then clicking the install link under the forum menu in the wp admin, please tell us what the issue is and lets solve that…
before uploading, extract the files in the zip archive… upload the entire simple-forum directory and its contents to the plugins directory….

The problem is when I activated the plugin nothing happend, so I called the host for my web server and the turned on php-error so I could se what error the php-code generated and from there I could see that it couldn't find the forum menu for tha admin page becaus it searched in the root folder, but it need to search in wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/install/
Isn't that right?
When I trie to activate it I get this error:
Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/sf-includes.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/webhosting/gbcbeach) in /home/webhosting/domain/domain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-control.php on line 22
Warning: main(sf-includes.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/webhosting/domain/domain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-control.php on line 22
Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'sf-includes.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /home/webhosting/domain/domain.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-control.php on line 22
The list is much longer but and if you want to have a look at it I can send you an email with it. Do you know what I can do?

the problem is right there…. your host, for some unknown reason, is not allowing open_basedir file includes… they have restricted access there… you need to ask them to open up that restriction… to be honest, with that restriction set, I am surprised you can get very many wp plugins to work… basically, they arent allowing absolute path includes… without that, you arent going to get spf to work or will have to rewrite significant amounts of it… we do not support that configuration for obvious reasons… also worth noting that very few hosts restrict the open_basedir limitation… you are the first that has run into this issue or at least reported it…
I suspect if you request them to open it up for you, they will…
