Very nice but isn't it easier to put your mybb forum in a folder called forums. And put a index.html in the main folder that has this code:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourlink.com/forums/portal.php">

this redirects you froum http://www.yourlink.com to http://www.yourlink.com/forums/portal.php

But still your mod works to nice job on it

I'm with him on this, but to an extent....doesn't doing a cPanel server level redirect from http://yoururl.com to http://yoururl.com/forum work just as well?
I ask because from what I have read concerning seo, that redirects are less desirable and should be avoided if possible to encourage crawling, so my wonder is whether my current method is less desirable than the method this plug in uses!
Well does it? LOL!
Seriously any insight would be appreciated, unless the purpose for the plugin is for those hosting with a company that does not supply such extensive access! If need be I will gladly start a thread for this if anyone wishes me to!
TSG!

I really like this plug in, forcing my users to view the announcements/other portal information. one problem: I believe that people from google, etc. cannot get to the thread they want to, because they are redirected to the portal, since it's their first time that day.
