Hi,

me and a couple of friends are trying to set up a web discussion forum (not car based). I have purchased a domain name and webhosting from www.34sp.com and bought and downloaded a copy of vbulletin forum software. Following the instructions with the forum software I have managed to upload it to the website and get the forum running, however it has set up on a sub domain www.mysite.org/forum. (not the real address!)

When you type in www.mysite.org you still get the 34SP.com welcome page. What I would like to do is to get rid of the welcome page and get the site to re-direct to the forum location (or at least put a link up on the screen) so that visitors will find the forum. (like it is done on this site)

The trouble is, being a complete noob, I have no idea how to do it. Anyone have any idea on how to do this?

Cheers, Robbo
 
change mysite.org/index.htm to somthing else... like this site has...

if you type in www.mbclub.co.uk you go to a holding page - that then sends you to the forum...

heres the code:-


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>


</script><BODY bgcolor="white" text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="red">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/">
<h1><a href="http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/"><blink>MBclub UK</Blink></a></h1>
</BODY>

</html>
 
Thanks guy!

With help from yourself and Fast Lady, I have managed to get the re-direct working.

Now I have some questions about vbulletin which I'll put in another thread.

Cheers, Robbo
