    I just wondered how I go about forwarding any bit of traffic to anything in the root even if it is 1212712by1v2.html to the /forum folder?

    Thanks

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^backup.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.backup.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.backup\.com\/forum" [R=301,L]

    Replace backup.com with your domain :cool:

    I have just tried it with this:

    Although if I go to http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/test.html it doesn't forward it :(

    hmm, this should work for you then:

    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^backup.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.backup.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^backup.com/.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.backup.com/.*$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.backup\.com\/forum" [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
