Using Forum AS Main Site? Stop forum.php from showing?

Hi there,

I just purchased vB 4.01 and I setup my new website, which is actually just a forum.

i.e. TheDogForum.com

Now I renamed forum.php to index.php (backed up index.php) and loaded the vB file into the public_html main directory.

So when people go to my site:

www.thedogforum.com

They land directly into the forum...which is perfect!

The problem is on the Navigation Bar and the Image Title itself, when clicked, redirects people to www.thedogforum.com/forum.php

Which I do not want!
(I had to make a copy of forum.php otherwise it returned with a file not found error)

How can I stop the site from even linking to forum.php?

Please let me know,

~Dexx

Do you mean that you want the Forum tab not to redirect to forum.php when clicked? If so, at the navbar template, find the following code:

HTML Code:

<a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>

And replace the url inside the href attribute with the url you want.
