how do i??

How do i make it so people actually have to go to the website address to get on the board? I looked for articles to explain how to but have come across nothing....


our actual site is www.tpggirlz.com
but when you enter that it takes you to
the index that shows files

I dont know how to make it our actual forum?

Either add a .html or .php etc. file there or redirect it using cpanel to your forums

hmm sorry i dont think i understand?

Put your forum in the root folder?

[Angel-Pie]

i feel so dumb because i dont understand how to even do that, i have never done it before, i know you have to go threw
public_html/tpgvb to get to my root folder?

You need a index.html or index.php or index.shtml to have a normal page in your root dir.

If a index page is missing from that dir, the dir & file structure will be displayed instead.

As YT pointed out, you can move your forums to your public_html folder instead of the forum folder.


<script>

//Browser redirect Script

var browser_type=navigator.appName
var browser_version=parseInt(navigator.appVersion)

//if NS 6
if (browser_type=="Netscape"&&browser_version>=5)
window.location.replace("yourURLhere")
//if IE 4+
else if (browser_type=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"&&browser_version>=4)
window.location.replace("your URLhere")
//if NS4+
else if (browser_type=="Netscape"&&browser_version>=4)
window.location.replace("yourURLhere")
//Default goto page (NOT NS 4+ and NOT IE 4+)
else
window.location="yourURLhere"
</script>


Put that code in the index file.

sorry if im driving you nuts where do i locate a index.php or index.html file should my server already provide this?
i looked on my server i do have a index.php in my forums root folder

as much as a hastle i am i really do appreciate the help!

[snakes1100]

Make it on your puter and upload it.

If there was one already on the server in that directory, you wouldnt be getting the file dir layout.

[sunilvarma]

add a redirect in your cPanel.
