Hi all,

Just wondering how do you setup a completely seperate forum page? Like vBulletin.org had their articles section, as a sub directory forum, and its not visible in the main forum and vice versa. I would like to setup an articles section in a similar way on my site,

Thanks in advance,
Greg

Just set the Display Order for that forum to '0'.

How can I access that forum using a menu button for articles, what would I link it to?

Thanks,
Greg

Create a link or button as you want and link it to /forumdisplay.php?f=forumid

Just tried that, and it just links me to my main forum page?
My forum address is www.ChessForums.org

Thanks,
Greg

If I replace forumid with 0 it just shows an error message saying the forum doesn't exist?
Any ideas?

Thanks.
Greg

Wou will need to use the real forumid of the forum you are hiding.

The link to our Articles forum is for example: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=184

Thanks Marco, think I've solved it now, had to reference the forum name, as I have vBSEO installed

Thanks,
Greg
