    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://www.example.com/" />

    Add this to your Site description.

    Hello TerryAhn

    Find somewhere in your forum and try this:

    <iframe src="http://www.lolaustralia.com.au" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>

    Good luck.

    Liz.

    Update:
    You can use "HTML pages management" and place banner links to both sites.

    On you lolaustralia.com page your "home" button redirects you back to lolaustralia.com why not change to "lolaustralia.com.au"Wink

    Update:

    Never give anyone access into your admin panal, I'll edit and update here if I sort something out.

    Your banner at lolaustralia.com is linked to forum can you change the link to lolaustralia.com.au

    Hello TerryAhn

    Is here anything in your: Administration Panel > Display > Homepage/Generalities (Homepage message) html box?

    If your answer is "no" I'll made a banner and link to match your site for you to try, I'll post the code here when completed.

    Liz

    Update:

    Try this:

    <a href="http://www.lolaustralia.com.au"target="_blank"> <img src="http://imgcash3.imageshack.us/img26/60/admintz.th.jpg" width="200" height="200"
    ></a>

    You might spot the logo so find your link to the image and change http://imgcash3.imageshack.us/img26/60/admintz.th.jpg you can pick what ever image that suits your needs.

    Update:

    Yes! you got it working ok.     :wouhou:

    Meta refresh tags have some drawbacks:

    Something to mull over

    If a page redirects too quickly (less than 2-3 seconds), using the "Back" button on the next page may cause some browsers to move back to the redirecting page, whereupon the redirect will occur again. This is bad for usability, as this may cause a reader to be "stuck" on the last website.
    A reader may or may not want to be redirected to a different page, which can lead to user dissatisfaction or raise concerns about security.

    Much better. :wouhou:

    Yay I fixed it myself, thank you True Blue for the help. But I figured out a way to redirect the website.

    I created a HTML page and made it as the homepage, and posted this one it

    <!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.lolaustralia.com.au"></HEAD>
    <BODY>
    We have moved to a new site.
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
