But when i press save as and type redirect.htaccess it just saves it as that name under Rich Text Format.

Ok.... 1.) open notepad or wordpad, or whatever

2.) File > Save As > .htaccess > Save

3.) Add this line in that file: Redirect 301 / http://www.yoursite.com/forums

4.) File > Save

5) Upload to your root directory

When i do step 2, there is no option for htaccess so if i type it in, it just changes to a txt or rtf...

Ok, unzip and edit the htaccess file attached and upload to your root

wow no none of my site works...

Ok, not sure why, but you can try this as well, using an index.html in your root to redirect...

Just unzip, edit and upload

Alright, that worked, THANKS!
