    Hi,

    Is it possible for me to redirect http:// webeavder.org/forums to http:// forums.webevader.org ? Or will that create problems.

    Any advice will be most helpful ;)

    What do you want, that forums.site.org shows site.org/forums, or that it really redirects?

    Anyway, in both cases you need to create a .htaccess file, and put it in the main directory.

    In the first case, add this in your htaccess file:
    
# get requested hostname
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*\.|)(.*\..*|.*\..*\..*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^forums.(.*)/(.*) /forums/$2 [L]
    Code (markup):
    In the second case, add this

    
# get requested hostname
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*\.|)(.*\..*|.*\..*\..*)$ [NC]
# convert /forum/viewtopic.php to forum.hostname/viewtopic.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)forums/(.*|)$ http://forums.%2/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    (Not tested though)
