    I'm happy to be able to do this, but it means that I cannot access my forum mainpage.

    My forum mainpage (example): www.example.forumotion.com/index.htm

    If I set a homepage, that URL will display a homepage and not the board index (www.example.forumotion.com)


    How would I change this?

    But can the problem be fixed?
    It's rather annoying.

    you have to buy domain name and set it as a home page. redirect that domain to your html page , but make sure you buy domain somewhere else otherwise it will not work . if you buy it here then I don't think it will let you set redirection

    You was obviously wrong seen as someone else has just posted about this and they have done it without a domain name

    Ok people just to clarify

    When you set an html page as your homepage

    Your homepage will be - www.your_usual_address.forumotion.com (Your usual one)

    Your forum Address will be: - www.your_usual_address.forumotion.com/forum.htm (Your usual one with /forum.htm at the end of it)

    If you want an example check my homepage url out, then check my forum url out

    Regards
