Make forum index?

[Cool21]

I was wondering if you could, when people go your url, such as http://www.domainnamehere.com, is there a way that people will go straight to http://www.domainnamehere.com/forum instead of http://www.domainnamehere.com. I hope this doesn't sound weird...lol. Thanks!!!

You can redirect a page using a .htaccess (the most common example of a server side redirect) ;)

Hava a look at this tutorial: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/2

You can also use a meta refresh in your HTML code (tutorial: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html), but this isn't a good method and it's dissuaded by the W3C (use server side redirect instead).

If your server supports PHP, create a simple file called index.php containing the following.

<?php
header("location: /forum/");
?>

That should do the trick.
