I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but being hard of sight, trying to find it has giving me a headache.

How do I delete the home page all together? When new people are trying to find us they are getting lost on the home page. www.spiuserforum.com

When the address is typed in I'd like it to go straight to our forums. As it is, it goes to a Home Page and people have to find the FORUM button to locate the forums. For our purpose the home page is not needed at all. I'm sure there is a way to do it I am just having a time trying to find it.

Thanks Dub

I'm sure you will find it under Products Manager >> vBulletin CMS, just select disable.. And you will have to change the page to Forum..

Edit index.php to look like this:
/**
* Use the CMS as the default script:
*/

// require('content.php');


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

require('forum.php');

Lynne, Thank you, The only problem is that is exactly how my php code reads.

You looked closely at which line was commented out and which was not? Because your index.php is definitely forwarding to content.php and not forum.php.

I double checked and had someone check me as my eyes are very bad, but it looks just like your code.

Try copying/replacing and then saving and see if it works. And make sure you don't have an index.php in couple of places and you aren't editing the wrong one.
