Hello...
Just upgraded to VB3.7 and all is working fine.

I am uninstalling VBPortal (removing files and DB tables) and I also want to move my forums up a couple of directory levels to the root folder for the domain. So, instead of www.domainname.com/sm/forums, I want them to appear at www.domainname.com (Where VBPortal used to be).

This is what I'm going to do and I'd like to know if it's right before I go ahead.
1. Move files/directories up two directory levels
2. Log in to admincp at the new URL and change the Forum URL and Homepage URL in Vbulletin Options.
3. If I can't log in to Admin, I reset cookies via tools.php

Is it that easy? I probably would have done it myself already except it's not my forum and I'm paranoid that I'll screw it up :D:D

Any advice appreciated.

Andrew
