Move forum to top directory?

[ricknlida]

First time installer here

I successfully setup vBulletin at site/folder - thinking that would be the best way to include other non-forum pages

...but it's been suggested that it's best in the top level directory.

1. Why would it best there?
2. If I move it there, will I still be able to add folders for html pages?
3. If best to move there, can I just move all the files from site/folder to the top level (and, of course, change the url in the admin cp settings)?

Thanks!

PS/Edit. I'm seeing #2 is a silly question. Of course I can

Issue resolved:

I moved all files from site/folder to the top directory, then deleted the index.html file...all is cool.

you don't have to move to the top, you can simply re-direct to /folder.
