    Yea, so I just changed hosts, and have to reup all of the original content, and then do a backup.

    And of course the backup my original host gave me wasn't 100% complete.

    So instead of www.bleepd.com working, you have to go to www.bleepd.com/forums

    How do I just have www.bleepd.com be the homepage and for the forums?

    I know it has something to do with the .htaccess, I just forgot exactly what to do.

    And also, what do I need to add for the www.bleepd.com and bleepd.com direct being the same for searches and stuff?

    You just want to redirect or something else? Is the forum located in the 'forums' folder?
    Do a 301 redirect.

    Yes the forum is located in the forums folder.

    I just want www.bleepd.com to take you to the forums and that is all.
