    Ok guys I can't think clearly tonight and was looking for someone that can solve my problem. My client wants his index page changed to the forum. How can I do this can I somehow mask "index.htm" as "forum/index.htm". I'd really hate to do a redirect.

    Leaving out any redirect means a lot, but maybe you could use frames?
    I can't think of anything else, but remember that frames are tricky coming to SEO.

    If you want to change your default directory page from “index” to something else, and you’re on an Apache Server, with Mod_rewrite installed, you can add this code to your .htaccess file:

    DirectoryIndex otherpage.html

    You can also set it up so that if the default page isn’t found that another takes its place:

    DirectoryIndex otherpage.html differentpage.html

    Of course, use the appropriate file extension for your web pages [.html, .php, etc.]
