Teck,
THANK YOU SOOOOOO much for answering me. Please bear with me, I have a couple more newbie type questions. Am I placing the index.php in the same location as the index,htm was,and also what is the default look for the index.php??? Will I still have my banner and my buttons, and will the page have the look I need or do I need to edit the index.php first, and copy past certain code into the .php file that is currently in the .htm file? (she wonders if she said that right.....)

the vbhome index.php 'builds' an html page from various templates in your database. Don't edit it unless you know what you are doing. It will use your forums colors, etc. utilizing whatever you have set for your forums.

Do you have to go to www.yoursite.com/forums/ to get to your actual FORUM homepage? If so, you will see an index.php in the /forums/ directory. This is vbulletin's index... leave it.

What do you see when you go to the root of your domain? www.yoursite.com/
Some hosts will put a generic index.html page there as a 'placeholder'. That gets deleted and replaced with index.php from vbhome.
