    Hello,

    I get a little confuse when you say, "auto redirect".

    If I give you a code and you add it to your homepage message, everytime someone visits your forum's index, they will be re-directed to another site.

    So, I only have one more suggestion that I think that you would like.

    If I am correct, you want a 'hyperlink'.

    Code:
    <a href="URL">Text Here</url>

    Replace these words with the correct information :

    URL = link
    Text Here = The text of what your link should say

    Uhm. It's actually quite simple, but I believe it takes a bit more than that john Wink

    Here's a full example for your use on an html page:

    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh"
    content="[insert the delay in seconds before the redirect];url=[insert the full url of the target page here]">
    </head>

    <body>
    <center><p>
    Please stand by while we redirect you to the <a href="your target url here">Forum Rules</a>.
    </p>
    <br>
    <p>
    If you see this message for more than 5 seconds, please click on the link above!
    </p></center>

    </body>
    </html>

    That is a standard redirect message you'll find on most professional wesbites. The user should see the following message:

    Putting a message at homepage so that it auto-redirects to...? Redire10

    Here's an example code with the prompts removed:
    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh"
    content="3;url=http:/help.forumotion.com">
    </head>

    <body>
    <center><p>
    Please stand by while we redirect you to the <a href="help.forumotion.com">Forum of the Forums</a>!
    </p>
    <br>
    <p>
    If you see this message for more than 5 seconds, please click on the link above!
    </p></center>

    </body>
    </html>

    The number "3" in the first part of the code represents the delay in seconds before the user's browser will attempt the redirect. Providing a link below the first line of text will ensure the user has direct access to the target URL in case an error occurs, or their browser is a couch potato and won't move. Wink
