When yo ugot the 404 I was probably just uploading my new index.php, a simple code duplication of wwwtreads.php, that redirects to ubbtreads.php.
The PALS index.php is now moved into the PALS folder and targeted from the THREADS "Stats" menu, so everything's working fine here now and I didn't actually needed to rename it.
