Help with a HTM page, then a link to the forum

[steve3402000]

I know I should have done this 4 years ago, but I have a site, thats getting busy, and I have had interest in some companies supporitng it with ads and such, so I want to reformat the way I am doing it.

Right now its all in the root directory on my server
so index.php in in the main folder if you will

I was trying to put a index.htm, hoping that would be read by the browser first, then a link to index.php

I does not work, so If I create a directory " forum " and move all of the Vbulletin folders there, as well as the index.php then I would have to make a link such as www.aircraftmechanic.org/forum/index.php

only problem with that, ALL of my photo links are simply www.aircraftmechanic.org/photo.jpg

Would I have to go back, and manually change every single photo to reflect /forum/photo.jpg ?

are there any other things that you know might have to be changed?

thank you in advance

Why not just change your index.php page to forums.php - make sure to change it in vboptions > forum home page options > script name for forum home page > forum.php
and then you may create a new index.php page.

then the index.htm will come up first
then a link to forum.php for the board, that actually sounds workable as hell

then I can keep my mess of one directory for everything lol

Awesome

Thanx ill try it

Being awake does help.

It's under Message Searching Relevance Options (vBulletin Internal Search) and above Forum Listings Display Options
