Alright, so a while back I seen a forum that when you entered the URL, it took you straight to a forum.

I just thought about it I can't really figure out how to do that.. Could you help me out?

When I say the index redirects to a forum, I mean forumdisplay.php?fid=1. Like that.
There are a lot of different ways to accomplish what you wish, it more depends on what you want to use.

There is everything from (assuming you are using apache) mod_rewrite to javascript solutions. If you can provide a little more information about your environment I am sure that a solution can be provided to you.
.htaccess

DirectoryIndex forumdisplay.php?fid=1

I believe that is what you're looking for.
So there isn't a way that MyBB takes care of this?
I mean I knew of how to do this, but what is the best way that MyBB can take care of this action?

I have been using the .htaccess but I was just wondering if there is a best way that works with MyBB.
The htaccess redirect will work the best.
