    Re: how do i create a redirect

    Here you go:
    HTML Redirect Source Code

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="seconds;URL=the-other-url">

    </HEAD>
    <BODY>

    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    seconds : the number of seconds the page is displayed, before performing the redirection.

    the-other-url : any absolute or relative URL that will be displayed after the delay has expired.

    Be sure that you put the meta in the head, not the body.

    in your control panel you can set up forum.bakclan.x10hosting.com to point to bakclan.x10hosting.com/forum

    you shouldn't need to code it, unless i understood you wrong

    oh, okay. i don't know if you can do that in cPanel or not, but if you do what aopsftw said, add <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;URL=forum" /> to it, right after <head> then that should do it. or, what would be better, is to do it with PHP code, but I don't know that...
