In case you are accessing SMF by the server's address you may experience problems because of incorrect url paths. In order to fix them follow these steps:
1. Log in cPanel and click on 'phpMyAdmin' from the Databases box. Then select the SMF database from the drop down box;
2. In the table 'smf_settings' make the following changes:
smileys_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Smileys
avatar_url:http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/avatars
3. In the table 'smf_themes' change:
theme_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/default
images_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/default/images
theme_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/classic
images_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/classic/images
theme_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/YOURTHEME
images_url: http://serveraddress.com/~username/SMF_FOLDER/Themes/YOURTHEME/images
If you have problems making the above changes you can use Siteground's Development services.
