How to make your forum on the front page of your site?

Discussion in 'Forum Management' started by Brian123, Sep 12, 2006.

    Hello.

    Could anyone tell me how to make your forum be on the front page of the site, rather than in a sub folder?

    I am running Yabb, and it came as part of the web hosting package, so it automatically has its sub folder set to /forum.

    I would prefer it to come up as soon as people type in the name .com

    Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Just install it to the root directory rather than a sub-folder

    Copy the installation in the root folder. I suggest you download a newer version. The installations on Cpanel are usually not the latest versions.

    You can do it with the .htaccess file as well but the best approach to do that will be by moving your files from the forums directory to the home (public_html) directory.
