</div>

is the code i used.when i use it as a homepage,i click Enter Site,and it takes me to the portal like i want it to.but when i then hit "Home" it takes me back to the Enter Site page.
whenver i set it to Redirect to the homepage,it just takes me back to the Enter site page

Try this

Code:

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="h-buttons">General Chat</div><br />
<div class="h-description">Welcome to General Chat</div><br />
