I've hit a problem when trying to change the homepage to the Articles tab in that although I can do that through Site Builder the Forums tab remains highlighted/selected and so it doesn't really make sense. I wonder if there is any way around this?

You need to manually edit the Navigation Tabs and update their URLS under Site Builder -> Navigation.Translations provided by Google.

Wayne Luke - Do you mean updating the Page Names controls which Navtab is selected/highlighted? I'm hesitant to make adjustments in this general area as I broke my forum when I did before (white paging) and the only way I got back in was through another Style.Comment

The URL of the Navigation item controls which is highlighted.
If you change your Forums URL to /beeblebop/ and the navigation tab says /forums/ then it won't highlight when you visit /beeblebop/.
These changes shouldn't have any affect on the rendering of pages. They are unrelated to the templates. You might get an invalid page error if you go to /forums and the system thinks you should be going to /beeblebopTranslations provided by Google.

Still can't win with this one Wayne Luke
Please see attachments as to my current settings.
If I tick to make my Articles tab the homepage my forum either white-screens or Articles becomes my homepage but whilst it's displayed the Forums tab is illuminated.
Maybe I'm still missing something?
On a side note under my current setup and away from Site Builder the hover link for the Articles tab is xxxxxx.com/articles but is set as xxxxx.com/static on the Articles setting screen in Site Builder and for the Forums tab (ticked as homepage in Site Builder) just xxxxx.com and if I try to make my Articles tab my homepage in Site Builder that's when the wheels start to fall off and I start getting white screens. Also if I try to change the URL for my Forums tab in Site Builder to /forums/ it says that's already in use :-?Last edited by woodmj; Wed 8 May '19, 1:37am.Comment

- Click Navigation in the Site Builder menu.
- Edit the Articles tab by clicking on its pencil icon.
- Change its URL to blank.
- Save the changes.
- Edit the Forums tab by clicking on its pencil icon.
- Change it to either 'forum' or 'homepage'.
[note] Setting the URL of the Forum tab to 'homepage' will give you the default layout that vBulletin ships with as its homepage. Changing it to 'forum' will link to a more streamlined listing of forums and be less confusing to your customers.Translations provided by Google.
