I'm a total newbie to newsgroups. I screwed up and didn't bookmark the link to sabnzbd when using the installation wizard. Now I can't figure out how to get back into it.
I tried to remove the program and install it again, but when I download the program and use the DMG to install it, it just opens a little downward pointing arrow at the top right of my screen and doesn't open the installation wizard.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm hoping to just be able to start the installation over from scratch...

If you're on a Mac, there should be down arrow in the top menu.
Click it to get a dropdown menu. If you then click Queue the browser should be directed to SABnzbd's UI.

When I click on that arrow, it gives me several choices: warnings, idle, queue, history, limit speed, pause, complete folder, incomplete folder. When I go to queue, it shows a light gray "empty" that I can't select.
When I was trying to erase the program and start over earlier, I did a search and erased a bunch of files related to it. I don't think it's reloaded them when I've tried to reinstall using the DMG. Also, when I look at the program in my applications folder, it has a white, crossed-out symbol over it. Finally, I think I may have screwed up by changing the port that the program is using from the 8080 port to the same one I was using for the SSL downloading.

The ports for the web server and Usenet downloading are unrelated.
The quickest way is to stop SABnzbd and remove it from the program folder and install it again.
Then open a Terminal windows (Programs->Utilities) and type:
Then start up SABnzbd again, which will lead you through the Wizard.
You can open the sabnzbd.ini file in your home folder with TextEditor.
BTW: if you know how, you can also edit the ini file directly, but make sure SABnzbd isn't running.
