As the title says i want a forum on my forum to redirect to a website
example I want to have a forum on my forum the redirects to this link "http://cnira.darkbb.com/IRC-CNRAD-h1.htm"
example. IF you click the forum it redirects to that link.

Thanks, Very Happy

May I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Use the edit button)

Try the hompage message (at ACP/ Display/ Hompage/ Generalities) it allows HTML code, so you can put redirect links there.

Code:: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Your Page Title</title> <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"></head> <body> Optional page text here. </body> </html>

Thats the basic format of a html page.
Add it when you create a html page.

i think he wants it on the forum. so that when you click the forums name it goes to the other page/site.

if thats the case you just add this as the forums name.

Admin panel>general>forums

If you do not have the forum set up yet then create it and use the code below as the forums name.

if you already have the forum set up. then just use the code and once again add where the name of the forum is.

oops never mind this forum dose not exist?

http://cnira.darkbb.com/IRC-CNRAD-h1.htm

but if you have a different link then just add the correct link and name to this code
