Hi All.

currently my forums is under www.bookfishingtrips.com/forums
i was wondering is it possible that how can i redirect the above link to following as
http://www.bookfishingtrips.com/index.php/discussion.

In another word, if a customer type www.bookfishingtrips.com/forums on any browsers, it goes to http://www.bookfishingtrips.com/index.php/discussion in my homepage instead of the forum itself

thank you very much.
Add following line to .htaccess file which is in your root folder.
Redirect 301 /forums http://www.bookfishingtrips.com/index.php/discussion

It should be on your site's root folder. For example, publich_html or httpdocs
