Bulletin as homepage

[volcom5799]

My forums are currently installed in /forums under my root directory. Thus, to access the forum directly you would enter
//www.mysite.com/forums

I would like to set up the index.htm (or index.php) in my root directory so that visitors are immediately and invisibly taken to the forums. keeping the same homepage address ww.homepage.com

Can someone tell me what my index.??? file in root should look like to accomplish this. Also i dont want to have to use vbadvanced

Thanks.

Use an .htaccess file to redirect anyone to your /forums folder

Right now i have an index.html file in my root folder but its just blank with an automatic redirect to my fourms http://www.my webpage.com/nforum/index.php i dont want the redirect i want this to just be located at ww.mywebpage.com no added /index.php or stuff

Open a text editor and copy the following text into it:

Redirect index.html http://www.my (http://www.my/)webpage.com/forums/index.php


Save that as ".htaccess" (not the period '.' is deliberate, as is the fact that there's nothing in front of it). Upload that to the root directory of your site and you should get users automatically redirected to your forum homepage.
