I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can.
This is my forum:
http://galaxycauldron.forumotion.com/
I have never used the Portal before today, so this is what I am used to seeing:
So after spending hours getting the Portal set up, I set it as my homepage. I did knowingly do that and I do know how to change it to NOT be the homepage.
I seem to find out that I can't access the "forums" any more like in the picture above. Home is set to these links: "http://galaxycauldron.forumotion.com/forum" or "http://galaxycauldron.forumotion.com/index" lead me right back to the portal.
Yes the images are correct in the Navigation Bar. I have not changed them in months.
Yes I have cleared the forum's cookies
Yes it works in IE for some reason, but not FireFox
I am the one who set up the links on the side of the portal under the "navigation" widget.
If I don't make the portal my homepage all the links work perfectly, and home takes me to the forums and portal to the portal.
