Installation error using custom setting.MEDIA_URL

[myitchychin]

In ./djangobb_forum/models.py line 46, the code uses settings.MEDIA_URL instead of settings.MEDIA_ROOT.

It is also using a simple concatenation instead of using os.path.join which causes an error in Windows based operating systems where paths use back slashes and not forward slashes.

The correct code for line 46 should be...

path = os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_ROOT, settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'forum', 'themes')
