Put this in a .htaccess file in the / folder:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/forum/$1 [R=301,L]

hi m8 i put that in but still takes me to the folders not to my website

when i type www.mywebsite.com i can see all my folders

Are you sure you put that in the right folder and called it exactly this:

.htaccess

?? The . at the start is important.

yes m8 i am putting in the .htaccess file the on in my / folder

cheers

are you using apache? .htaccess is a apache thing, other webservers work differently.

how about putting the forum itself in the / folder - no redirect necessary then.

if i move my forum the folder its in will this not mess up my sql database? also will that not just show all my files on my sever if they type www.mysite.com or will it load the index.php automatically ?

You could just get a file to redirect you to the forums. PM me if you want that.
