I think it can be done in "Forums Home Page Options" as in the option I have it called "forum" but I not sure how to change it and what needs to be done...

ANy ideas suggestion would be great :-)

do a redirect in CPanel for mydomain.com

You can either set up an instant redirect to your forums (So you don't have to have a page on mydomain.com that says "Please stand by, you will be redirected to the forums in a few seconds" with either HTML or PHP.

HTML:

Create a index.html file
Here's the code.

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=mydomain.com">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Copy that code into the HTML file, but change mydomain.com to yourdomain.com/forum.

If you'd like to do it with PHP (your preference), here is the code.

Create an index.php file
Code;

Code:

<?php

   header( 'Location: mydomain.com/forum' ) ;

?>

Change mydomain.com/forum to your domain.

If you would like it to redirect them in a few seconds.. lets say 5.. you would change the 0 to 5 seconds in the HTML code

Good luck

Better to go the CPanel redirect route as you can save the extra page loads from a file.
