So right now i have
www.domain.com and that goes directly to the SMF forum, which is installed in the / of the webhost. I now have an index page i wish to be the main page when you type in
www.domain.com, and then people can choose to go to the forum if they wish.
So i was going to use the repair settings tool and move the forum from the / to /forum......except it occurred to me that this will break all current advertised links (like domain.com/news/so-and-so-is-gay/) which is a major problem since the traffic on this site is doing very well.
So how can i circumvent moving the forum into a new directory? I considered something like welcome.php and dumping it into the root, then forwarding the domain to that file, but wouldn't that also break the links?
I cant seem to sort it out in my brain
