Hi all,

I was looking to start a forums up for a gaming community, but i would like to implement a landing page prior to accessing the forums, i have made a quick example of what i would like:

[attachment=31953]

Are there any decent guides on how i would be able to make this, and make it appear before accessing the main website forums.

Much appreciated,

If you mean home page, that what your going to do

1. Go to FTP > httadocs
2. Press "Create New File"
3. Name it index (.php or .html or whatever ur coding it as)
4. Edit the file with the codes and save it
5. Go to http://yourdomain/
and here is it

i dont think so,
but just for general informations , if your using html use this webite its helpful
http://w3shools.com
And if you want a specific thing , feel free to PM me or Google > For Example "Tables w3schools" and you will find it

Also you can use "left mouse key" > view page source to get a specific page style code

What Hosting control panel you use?
You can use Page Manager but you will have to .htaccess redirect users to it instead of index.php (by using DirectoryIndex for instance).
I Just fund something that can also help you if your using cpanel.
first create change /index.php to /forums.php so to access forums you suppose to go to http://yourdomain/forums.php , then create new index.php if you got cpanel
Go to Cpanel > Domains or go to Sub Domains > Site Builder
And liek that it would b easier
