Topic: Changing index.php to forum.php

Hello ive installed punbb and I,ve renamed the index.php to forum.php. (I have my reasons for this, so don't ask me why or how I can get around the problem, I just want to fix it:)

There are 2 errors that occur when i do that.

the first link in the nav menu, the home link doenst lead back to forum.php but index.php I,ve found were the code for that link was and altered it. It works

But there's another link to the index.php and i dont know where the code is located. the link is located right above the forum table. on this site it is:
PunBB.org Forums 

Can somebody tell what file I have to change to make the link lead back to forum.php instead of index.php?

And do you guys know more links in the board that lead back to index.php?

Just use an editor with a search-function, and you'll find that it's located at line 180 in vewtopic.php, and at line 100 in viewforum.php.
