rename index.php to forum.php
rename portal.php to index.php

i done this before just like that no issues.

but make sure u edit ur header links so people no where forum is located

add <li><a href="forum.php">Forum</a></li>

if there are any issues just lemme know

oh rofl... my bad i didnt notice u answered his question about the portal one....

create a new folder called "forum"

copy all ur mybb files to "forum" login to admincp and change ur cookiepath from / to /forum/ along with the website url

then create a redirect to http://site.com/forum

it should not show the index.php

i hope thats what he ment

Are you sure about that?
Well some of them are not forum files, such as "portal.php" , and are you sure everything is going to be alright? Thanks btw!
