You have to edit that in your header templates.

I have done this with success but now I canot figure out how to go about updating the whos online portion. I know which files are to be edited but not what to change and how. I read a tutorial on how to add new ones and it made no sense to me on how to edit existing ones.

portal.php is now index.php
index.php is now forums.php

Edit: Sorted

And your done! Viola! You can now make full use of the portal!
About the navbar though, I need to find a way to make it go to forums.php
Til I find a fix, I hope you like this tutorial.

in global.php
find:

// Add our main parts to the navigation
$navbits = array();
$navbits[0]['name'] = $mybb->settings['bbname_orig'];
$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/index.php";

and replace it with:

// Add our main parts to the navigation
$navbits = array();
$navbits[0]['name'] = $mybb->settings['bbname_orig'];
$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/forums.php";

is this what you need?

You should add this to the first post worked for me

There's no need, seeing as its on the first page, second or third post, I think.

Eh. I haven't seen a simple answer to have the portal as http://sld.tld/ and the forums at http://sld.tld/bb/ ... Is there one?

Nice tutorial, I might use later.
