The crappy forwarding scheme is your problem
Every other software I've installed on my system:

Have ALL been able to handle this "crappy forwarding scheme" just fine. Media Wiki is the only one that hasn't. The forwarding system is actually quite robust, it is simply a frame, nothing else. It can handle metatags. The reason I use it is too complex to explain, but many people use such systems, whether because they share hosting with other people, use subdomains, wish to remain able to easily change hosts, etc. That is why all the above software have provisions to allow people to do just that.
But all I'm asking is for some help understanding WHY it isn't working. You've been very helpful so far, but obviously you don't wish to help any more. That's fine. But maybe someone else might know why the forms aren't working. Absolute URLs, with the proper domain will all work as if they were on the host domain. I like MediaWiki, and you have all been very helpful up to now. But now I seem to be getting a Micro$oft type of reply: if the software doesn't work the way you want, change how you do things. That isn't why I use open source software!
I'm not much of a programmer, so if hacking the forms is truly too complicated, I may just have to give up. But I'd like to give it a try.
Thanks again!
