Linking to a forum

[CurtWRC]

Is it possible to somehow have it so that if you type in http://www.yourwebsite.com/forum it can then be forwarded to a forum which is not part of your site (such as a proboards forum). I realise it is possible to do that if I was to put http://www.yourwebsite.com/forum.htm but I think it would look better as a folder rather than a page that redirects. Does anyone know what I mean?

Thanks,
Curt

If you stored the page as index.html/php (depending on server configuration, I think .html is default), in the folder 'forum' - it would work like that.

eg.

yoursite.com/forum/index.html

You type in yoursite.com/forum, and it brings up the page.

Agree with you. ;) It seems better as a folder . Here's my example :

http://icebergz.biz.ly/forum

Using .htaccess is the simpliest way to redirect the URL.
