Hi there,
So I created my new site (on the same server but different wordpress) to http://berserk-games.com/new and in the Wordpress URL link for the new site I have http://berserk-games.com/new and the site URL is pointing to the root http://berserk-games.com. And of course I also changed the index.php and uploaded the .htaccess file
The old wordpress site/database is still there, but is now hidden due to the above redirects. The wordpress URL link for the old database is set to http://berserk-games.com and the site URL is pointing to http://berserk-games.com/new
Everything on my new site is fine and in order, but I want to get my forums squared away which is still on the OLD site. You told me previously that the forums rely on the original Wordpress database and that's fine. I'd like to be able to still link to the forums somehow. I thought maybe I could change something in the Integration/Permalinks setting, but when I try to even go there, it's showing the new site (all messed up) in the preview, so I can't even do anything. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in my admin panel: https://dl.dropboxusercontent......reen08.png
Is there anything I can do or will I have to just start over from scratch?
Thanks and hope this made some sense.

To be perfectly honest? Not a lot 
I am truly struggling to work out what you are doing not to mention what you have already done. As to the image - then that looks like the WP index.php ALAX call to populate the SP admin panel area is not going to the right place. Actually looks more like it is trying to load something from the front end of your site as opposed to the admin side of things.
So - can we perhaps concentrate on the website that has the forum plugin active and, I assume, the data in the correct database etc. And assuming all components are correctly located - when you hover the mouse cursor over one of the SP admin menu items on the left - what is the URL being shown in the status bar of your browser and is it correct?

Yeah I know it's a confusing process!
Alright so now, I'm not getting that weird thing like on the screenshot I posted. It's actually showing my forums correctly and everything else.
When I hover over one of the SP admin menu items, it is
http://berserk-games.com/wp-ad.....orums.php#
and this URL is correct as it points to where the forums are on the ORIGINAL wordpress. Not sure if the actual link is correct though.
When I click on a link though to try and make any page, the loading icon shows up and then the window pops up blank (just a white screen), and I have to hit the back arrow to get back to my dashboard.
I clicked on permissions and the link below is what popped up blank, which looks to be the same link as above.

The bit we are interested in is the domain part of the url and if I understand all of this correctly - that is incorrect. Yes?
And that we simple get from WordPress - http://codex.wordpress.org/Fun.....tonome_url

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you need me to do with that link.
But yes, basically the URL link isn't changing - so I can't even view the various links within the forum admin section. The account is correct though - the entire forum is located at http://berserk-games.com/wp-admin.

The link above is to the WP codex page for the home_url() function which is the function Simple:Press uses to determine the URL of the site. So what I am saying os that if the SP admin links are incorrect then this is going to be because that WP core function is informing us incorrectly. SO are the urls on your WP Settings > General Settings admin page correctly set?

Here is a screenshot - hopefully that will make more sense and hopefully I pointed everything correct.

I believe these are correct because berserk-games.com/new is where I want the new site to point, except the forums are on the OLD wordpress, but I somehow want them to get shown.
Thanks

OK - I guess now I understand what you are trying to do - although not why you would want to! And frankly I don't think that is possible. Have you looked into whether WordPress can do this and if so how it needs to be set up?

Well at this point we'll just have to forget it since we're not really getting anywhere. Since my gold membership will be expiring next month anyways, I'm making the switch to vBulletin and will just migrate my databases over.
Thanks for the help though!
