okay this is what I have my config file saying, errors still coming up:

<?php
//Mysidia Adoptables Site Configuration File

define('DBHOST', 'localhost'); //DB Hostname
define('DBUSER', 'chibifur_riley'); //DB Username
define('DBPASS', '(i removed the password)'); //DB Password
define('DBNAME', 'chibifur_adopts'); //Your database name
define('DOMAIN', 'chibifurs.com'); //Your domain name (No http, www or . )
define('SCRIPTPATH', 'home'); //The folder you installed this script in
define('PREFIX', 'adopts_prefix');
?>

It appears that you are missing a "/" in your script path, I fixed this for you already.

thank you so much. now to hopefully get the forum online ^^

Got the forum up (yay!) but is phpbb3 eligable for integration?

Well of course its possible to integrate, but only MyBB is officially supported. You can always give a try integrating your forum and the adoptables site yourself, with a tiny bit of coding you can even get VBulletin and IPB to work.

I shall give it a whirl and see how it turns out! Hopefully I won't be back lol

Oh dont worry, I am glad to see users back with questions and suggestions. Think how boring it will be if everyone just downloads the script and never comes to the support forum at all. XD

lol that's so true. I'm usually around if you want to chat <3

Okay I see that the sidebar links were changed. I used to be able to go into function.php and change the links in the sidebar so that they show up as images instead of text. is there any way to do that now?

I've been attempting to drag myself out of my hole and restart RFTW; I updated the new site but I'm getting the following error on all pages;

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'Unable to load template file 'template.tpl'' in /home/ratties/public_html/inc/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php:127 Stack trace: #0 /home/ratties/public_html/inc/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(374): Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch('template.tpl', NULL, NULL, NULL, true) #1 /home/ratties/public_html/classes/class_frame.php(226): Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->display('template.tpl') #2 /home/ratties/public_html/classes/class_mysidia.php(449): Frame->render() #3 /home/ratties/public_html/index.php(86): Mysidia->output() #4 /home/ratties/public_html/index.php(90): IndexController::main() #5 {main} thrown in /home/ratties/public_html/inc/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 127

I did have a custom theme, so I changed my options in the database to one of the main ones, but I'm still getting it.

Check if you have the template file template.tpl in the theme's folder. If not, you need to create one.
