Can't edit content anymore?

Hi guys, I finally managed to move my C5 site to my new server (I ended up having to completely re-install C5 on my new server and just re-create and copy & paste everything over from my old site, since I had no luck getting my backed up database to work.
Anyways, I had to change my domain nameservers to point to my new server, so I spent the entire day editing the site using the subdomain provided to me by my host (http://servername.hostname.com/~myaccountname ) - I did this while I was waiting for my nameserver changes to take effect. Once they did, I changed this line in my /config/site.php file from:
to:
EDIT: ^^I don't know why the code blocks did that in my post, the a href part ISN'T there and I can't seem to take it out without it being put back...and the stuff below the code blocks I didn't put there either =/
The PROBLEM I'm having now is that whenever I go to a page and click the "Edit Page" button at the top, the red lines show up around the blocks on the page, but I can't click to edit them...it just treats it like normal HTML/text...for example, when I click Edit Page on my homepage and try to edit the side navigation menu, it just mouses over the links and if I click inside it doesn't do anything, unless I click a link then it takes me to that page, but no option to edit.
The ONLY thing else I can tell you that I did with regard to recent file changes is this:
Once my nameservers were updated and I changed that line of code I posted above, whenever I would try to access my site @http://mydomain.com, it would automatically point me tohttp://mydomain.com/~myaccountname... ... I tried visiting several other pages, and the result was similar: it seemed to be automatically appending "~myaccountname" to my URL (if I tried to visithttp://mydomain.com/testfolder , it would take me tohttp://mydomain.com/testfolder/~myaccountname)...
I took another look in my /config/site.php file and found this line:
So I changed it to this, to test:
Now the URLs work properly (no more appending ~myaccountname), but like I said I can't edit anything for some reason.
Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it? Please help asap! =/

Have you tried updating your cache in the dashboard? I had a similar issue earlier, and it took updating the cache in the dashboard and in my browser for it to come good.
Failing that, what version of Concrete5 are you running on the new host? When you are not trying to edit it, does the site browse ok? i.e does it look like it used to before you moved it?

I'm thinking it must be something to do with the domain?
I can install C5 in a subdirectory below my /public_html/ folder and it seems to work fine there, but when I upload and install it directly to my /public_html/ folder it just won't let me edit anything.
Can anyone please help me I'm totally lost and my site is completely down at the moment and I'd really like to get it back up and start working with it again :(
