Make forum my home page · **Released**: 03-04-2008

I know this is probably simple, but I don't remember how to do it

I would like to just have my site home page just go directly to the forum instead of my splash page. Just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks ya'll!

you can put this in the <head> code of your current page

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://websiteaddress.com/forums/">

There are also other ways like .htaccess and stuff

... or simply delete your splash screen... you want to redirect "instead"... so you do not want to show it... delete it!
