Show threads on home page

I posted this in appearance forum but I guess it's more down to coding so maybe a programmer can I help me. I am using Invision.

In Index_box template, the categories of the forum are shown in the heirarchy followed by forums and subforums.

Code:


<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="{catrow.tablehead.ID}" class="ipbtable index-box">
   <thead>
    <tr>
     <th class="forum">{L_FORUM}</th>
     <th class="topics">{L_TOPICS}</th>
     <th class="replies">{L_POSTS}</th>
     <th class="last post-info">{L_LASTPOST}</th>
    </tr>
   </thead>
   <tfoot>
    <tr>
     <td colspan="4">

Code:

     </td>
    </tr>
   </tfoot>
   <tbody>
 <!-- END tablehead -->

Code:

 <!-- BEGIN forumrow -->
    <tr>
     <td class="row2 icon" style="padding-right: {catrow.forumrow.INC_LEVEL_RIGHT}; padding-left: {catrow.forumrow.INC_LEVEL_LEFT};">
      <span class="status clearfix" style="margin-right: -{catrow.forumrow.INC_WIDTH_ICON}; margin-left: -{catrow.forumrow.INC_WIDTH_ICON};">
       <img title="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" src="{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_FOLDER_IMG}" alt="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" class="icon" />
      </span>
      <div class="par forum-name">
       <h{catrow.forumrow.LEVEL} class="hierarchy"><a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a></h{catrow.forumrow.LEVEL}>
       <p class="forum-desc">{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_DESC}</p>

In topics_List template, there is a list of topics for that forum:

Code:


  <!-- BEGIN header_row -->
   <strong>{topics_list_box.row.L_TITLE}</strong>
  <!-- END header_row -->

Code:

  <!-- BEGIN topic -->
   <!-- BEGIN table_sticky -->
    </tbody>
   </table>

Code:


   <div class="maintitle">
    <h2>{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_TITLE}</h2>
   </div>
   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="ipbtable">
    <thead>
     <tr>
      <th class="icon"></th>
      <th class="icon"></th>
      <th class="forum2">{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_TITLE}</th>
      <th class="topics">{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_REPLIES}</th>
      <th class="starter">{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_AUTHOR}</th>
      <th class="views">{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_VIEWS}</th>
      <th class="last last-post2">{topics_list_box.row.topic.table_sticky.L_LASTPOST}</th>

How can I amend Index_Box so that the index shows a list of topics instead of a list of forums? I only one forum, and I wish for the list of topics to be the homepage rather than an index.

I'm sure there's a way...

Nvm this was really easy. In the index template:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.diprepublic.net/f6-anything-goes" />

did you had that in index tamplate or did you add it? cuz in index_body tamplate I can't find it

[Synapse11]

I added it. It redirects the index page to the forum every time.
However meta redirecting is frowned upon by google and the like as it smells like a virus.
