Default /forums to just .com

How do I make it so when you enter for example: www.myforums.com
for it to go right to www.myforums.com/forums
but still saying just www.myforums.com
So instead of having a main page, the forums load instantly after type in domain!
Thanks!

In your cPanel you can redirect your domain to your forums

In FileZilla, select ALL your files in your Forum root. THen just drag them out to public_html then you would have to EDIT your vBulletin settings along with styles and what not. Isn't hard though. i did it too.

Homepage URL
URL of your home page. This appears at the bottom of every page.
http://www.myforums.com/forums/index.php?

Ok well upon looking through styles I noticed what you are talking about I think,
just any old edit's that must be updated after doing this....
Can you be more specific on what else besides styles will need editing?
I am planning on streamlining my forums to save $ on hosting,
currently has like 10 skins/styles I will be going down to 1 MAYBE 2
and also removing many modifications.

Your styles, URL, any modification settings that have to do with your forum i guess.
If you images dont show correctly you may have to browse in all styles and fix the url's in the Additional CSS.

hi
I am having a very similar issue. I just want it so that when you go to my site: www.mysite.com it goes to the forum, www.mysite.com/forums . You said you can change this in the control panel. What control panel? are you meaning in the admin controls? If so, i cannot find it in there. I've tried doing the .htaccess file thing but it doesnt work. Thanks

In your cPanel, under Domains it says Redirections.
