Hopefully someone can provide a quick answer...

What happens when the forums directory *is* the root directory of the website/domain?

ie.. if I rename myvbindex.php to index.php, what on earth happens to the list of forums that would otherwise be listed on index.php ?


(*edited to say: thanks in advance) :nervous:

you would have to rename this to something else, like forum.php.
you would have to edit a lot of templates then, mostly redirection templates as thos try to get you back on forums main page which was index.php before.
you might experience other problems i might not be aware of.

result: dont do that

you better keep it vbindex.php and put a .htaccess file in your root folder that tells a visitors browser that NOT index.php but vbindex.php is the file to go to first when the root url is called.
i dont have the syntax for it here but search the forums for htaccess & DirectoryIndex and you will find it.
