Hi,

I added the CMS to my forums this now became the "home" page for first time visitors.
I need the first and main page to always be my forum, "home" just an option.

How can I do this?

I will say something then someone will jump in and save you.

Not sure about this as i use cms as home, but higherarchy dictates index is king

in admincp/setting/options /homepage options it will allow you to rename your Forum home page
its default is Forum, If you renamed it to index, not index.php in that setting

then you would have to go to your server and rename forum.php to Index.php

LOL Im just guessing, but you shouldnt get locked out trying it!

added: yep tried it it works

this should have been explained some where before

maybe made into an article this has been asked many times and its so easy.

Alternatively you can do that at the index.php page at this part of code:

/**
* Use the CMS as the default script:
*/

//require('content.php');


/**
* Use the forum as the default script:
*/

require('forum.php');

And if you will want the cms as default, then comment the forum.php part and uncomment the cms one.
