Is there a way to test the functionality of this hack without going live? May concern is that the install doesn't alter my index.php or forces my forum to use vbindex.php instead. I want to make sure I have the option to continue to use index.php until I decide to use vbindex.php or rename vbindex.php to index.php if I choose to use that as my main gateway.

I'm not really sure what you mean exactly. If you mean can you still use your forum as before as default after the portal is installed. Yes you can. The portal does not override your forum board setting by taking over the index.php

It's a totally different page separate from the forum in that sence. If you have not installed the portal yet. Take my advice if you decide to install it, and put both the vbindex and vbconfig files in your forums folder instead of the root folder. Thats the best way to go with this!

Thanx Gary for the fast reply and patients. I'm going to try it now. I'm trying to take it easy today and didn't want to start something that I'm not up for finishing. I think I'm ready for a portal now. My forumhome is getting kinda cluttered.

Thanx again for you help

try:

./var/www/html/forum/

he was giving an example of what to change it to, you don't actually change it to ./forumdirectory.

ok just try ./forum

BTW I would suggest letting people behind proxies see your site as you may be preventing lots of potential members seeing your site.

which directory is vbindex.php in?

The reason why I mentioned proxies is because I'm behind one and cannot see your board.

You can always ban the morons via other means without banning hundreds of innocent people.
