Awesome. If you, Brandon, or anyone else could provide me with instructions on how to set this up with an htaccess redirect that would be amazing!
Sorry for the confusion. I do have it set up as a subdomain.

Ughh, that was a lot more simple than expected. It's funny how the most simplest of things can take forever to figure out.
For anyone else who set up their vBulletin on a sub domain like me here's what you need to do:
Using FTP or cpanel File Manager, find the
index.php file in the root of where you installed vBulletin. For me, the index.php it was in the "forum" folder I created where all the vBulletin files are.
/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forum/index.php
(Please Note: The x's represent the username I use to log into FTP or cpanel.
Now, open up the index.php file and scroll down until you find:
Code:
/**
* Use the CMS as the default script:
*/
require('content.php');
All you have to do is change content.php to forum.php. Save that bad boy and voila. You can now type www.forum.yourdomain.com...It will show your forum display and it won't have the /forum.php trailing the URL.
I may just be a newbie, but I don't know why I couldn't find that simple answer anywhere. With that, I hope this found other users well as I have been frustrated the past few days trying to figure this out.
