I say server-side because that would cut down on the server load if the visitor never has to touch the forum on their way to the redirect.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I assume you would just have to put an if statement in showthread.php, that if $thread[threadid] = the threadid of the thread you want to go somewhere else, you would then put a redirect in
