okay i was wondering when i type in my site url (theforgottengamers.com) its goes straight to the forums ( http://theforgottengamers.com/index.php ) and i want to change it to my portal ( http://theforgottengamers.com/portal.php )

so any ideas

Open up your .htaccess and put the following code in it:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^enigmachs.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.enigmachs.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.enigmachs\.com\/portal\.php" [R=302,L]

Replacing enigmachs.com with your domain. Do not remove the www unless your forums are located on a subdomain. Do not remove the ^ or the slashes either.

This is much easier and better than the file renaming and another htaccess code which doesn't work very well.

Did you change "enigmachs.com" to your domain? Did you put it at the end of your htaccess?
