I'll call Netfirms tonight when I get home and ask what type of server it is. Also, I'll have that info.php ready and up before 8pm EST tonight as well.
I think i may have found your problem, Tom. Make sure your Joomla config's live site is set to http://www.gamerztheatre.com (ensure that it starts with "www"). To check, go to your admin backend > Site > Global Configuration > Server. If it's not the full path, you will have to manually edit your configuration.php file.
The same thing applies to your SMF settings. Go to your SMF admin backend and go to Server Settings (on the left panel under Configuration). Make sure "Forum URL" is set to http://www.gamerztheatre.com/forum.
Lastly, your users must access your site through www.gamerztheatre.com. You can force this by adding the following lines in your .htaccess file:
Code:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^gamerztheatre\.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.gamerztheatre.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This, however, requires your host to be on an apache server.
Rgds, Mike
ps: your users make some pretty impressive movies

Right now I can't access my joomla admin because I can't connect to the site host (Netfirms), this happens a few times an hour, sometime it lasts 10 seconds, sometimes 2 hours. A real pain. I can access the the netfirms control panel where my database is.

Ok, I have done all that. The SMF server settings were correct. The code for the .htacess I added at the bottom of the htaccess file. I wasn't sure where to put it.
But now my site has gone down again, so I need to wait. At least SMF gives me a message "Connection Problems Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."

Strange... I've sent you 3 more PM's so far If you could, please leave the IRC server/channel you go to and i'll see you there
The codes you added into your .htaccess arent working. Make sure you have a ".htaccess" file, not "htaccess.txt" file. You will have to rename the htaccess.txt from joomla to .htaccess. If you hadnt made any changes to your htaccess, attached to this post is an original .htaccess with the necessary changes I just made.

You should seriously consider changing your host, or at least give them hell about this issue

www.site5.com (if you are in the states). They are quite possible the best host I've ever dealt with. And Mike deserves a donation after all this work! Good work Mike!
