I miss .htaccess in general... I think I'm going to go pester my host till he concedes. :p

That's my point exactly. My whole site is sitting on the forum folder now. My old site was html based, as it grew way too big for maintenance (over 300 pages, which I am still moving) I hacked vB to pieces and came up with a similar site to what I had but based on the vB in the forum folder (check it at DominicanCooking.com). I want a lot of the forums to read dominicancooking.com/forumsoandso as opposed to dominicancooking.com/forums/forumsoandso.

Now about that htaccess rewrite, I've only done basic 301 redirecting, how do I go about "masking" the /forums/ part of the url?

BTW Freesteyelz, your site is sickeningly cool! ;)

I believe there's a tutorial here but if not, I'm sure you can find one on Google. Just search for mod_rewrite.

I see that you've (Aunt Clara) have already visited vBSEO. They'll be able to help you as they did for me. :)

Thanks for the compliment. I think for the 3.6 project I'm going for a blog look. I don't know if it'll fly for a gaming site but we'll see. :D
