Hello all. I am wanting a static homepage that shows as the root of my website but then the users can click a link or something and go to my forum. How can I achieve this? I am also thinking of making a different login page for vbulletin that doesnt look like vbulletin.

Do I just make the page and then have it called index.php and change the vbulletin index.php to something like home.php and change the setting in the vbulletin options? I am not sure if that will work or not.

I also want to make sure that if a user is not logged in he/she is redirected to the static home page I created.

What I've done is have my root clean, just in case I want to install something and created a folder called forums. When a user goes into the root, he's automatically redirected to www.root.com/forums.
Whats you can also do is install vBadvanced (a mod) which has index.php as a splash page and then forums.php as your forum, in the root.
I don't know if it'll work, is there even an option to change in vBulletin options?
