Hi I have two forums on Mybb 1.8.4 yesterday i have merged my 1 forum to other forum .
Now i want to do it when user open the first forum they will automattically redirect to the forum in which i have merge my forum .
For example i have two forum @forum1 & @forum2 when user open @forum1 they will automatically redirected to @forum2 is there any way ....?
Wait do you mean you want to place a redirecting link? If they click a forum it will redirect to another.
Example
Forum1: General Discussion
Forum2: Lounge

By clicking Forum1 it will redirect the user to Forum2? i.e. The General Discussion section will redirect to the Lounge section?

If this is the case then follow these steps.
1. Go the the ACP and then Forums and Posts.
2. Locate Forum1 and edit it's settings.
3. Under 'Additional Forum Options' you'll see 'Forum Link'.
4. Paste the link to Forum2 in there and save.
5. Test by clicking Forum1 and it should load Forum2.
i mean when users open Forum1 index page url they will be redirected to forum2 index page url .

Alright if your using a cPanel then do the following.

1. Login to cPanel and click "Redirects", it should be under "Domains"
2. If you have to enter the link add "domain/forum1" and redirect it to "domain/forum2"
3. Once you've done that check it works.
Just use .htaccess to redirect anything from forum1 to forum2.
Were they on separate hosts/domains (or subdomains) or just subdirectories ?

How i can do it with .htaccess ..?
If you are on separate host/domain/subdomain, just add in the .htaccess of forum1:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your.forum2.url/$1 [L,R=301]

If you are on separate directories (same domain) :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/forum1/(.*)$ http://your.domain/forum2/$1 [L,R=301]
