We are having a problem with the 'New Topic' links on the Forum View page.  In researching the code on ThreadList.ascx.cx, it was found that the procedure to create the link at the top of the page is different from the procedure to create the same link on the bottom of the page.

{
lnkNewThread.HRef = SiteRoot
+ "/Forums/EditPost.aspx?forumid=" + ItemId.ToInvariantString()
+ "&pageid=" + PageId.ToInvariantString()
+ "&mid=" + ModuleId.ToInvariantString();

lnkNewThreadBottom.HRef = siteSettings.SiteRoot
+ "/Forums/EditPost.aspx?forumid=" + ItemId.ToInvariantString()
+ "&pageid=" + PageId.ToInvariantString()
+ "&mid=" + ModuleId.ToInvariantString();

lnkLogin.Visible = false;
}

The top link works fine by using the SiteRoot parameter to create a relative link to the new thread page.  siteSettings.SiteRoot on the second link creates an absolute link based on the site setting parameter which isn't working on our website.

Where does the siteSettings value come from initially (when the site is opened) as opposed to the siteRoot? Is it stored in the database, web.config, cache?  Is there documentation explaining the way this parameter is assigned and how it works throughout the application?  We have one site, but the root directory is different between networks, so we want to make sure we have this initial value set correctly.

Thanks!

Thanks again Joe, but can you point me to where the siteSettings parameter is getting it's value when the website opens?  I ask because the same problem is happening on the event calendar when moving between months.  The links appear to be using the siteSettings parameter causing the link not to work.
