Thanks Brian but I have decided to move the whole UBB to a new server to ease the load on the What Next? site bandwidth.
Cheers,
JP

Put this line in your .htaccess file in the root dir:
Redirect /ubb/ http://www.webmaster-forums.com/

Rick,
Thanks for that (seemed painstaking ) I know about this method (very good unless you actually host your site with Geocities and then all these banners pop up!) the real problem is that if I keep the site hosted through What Next? I will be using up my bandwidth while having a virtually dormant webmaster-forums.com site. Is that any clearer?

Hi JP,

In my opinion, the forum would be much more professional and better if it has its own domain name, and web site. Like webmasterforum.com

I think this would give it more potential, especially getting listed with Yahoo.

What do you think?

Thanks
Curtis

Jeez.... talk about rough work getting HTML to show.... There's the code..... it has some spaces but you can take them out and it'll work!

Guess that didn't work..... let me try again.

< frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0"framecolor="#000000" >
< frame src="http://www.what-next.com/ubb/" name="thepage" >
< /frameset >
< NOFRAMES >This site uses frames, if your browser does not support them click < A href=" http://www.what-next.com/ubb/">here< /A>
< /NOFRAMES >

Hey JP!

What you could do is simply this...

**snip** more HTML that seemed to be causing a problem **snip**

When the domain is active, put this on the index.html page of the new domain, it'll automatically forward new visitors to the forums and keep the domain name in the browser so they won't even know! Also, it'll allow them the chance to check out the rest of the site here!

Just a thought, let me know what you think.

And example so you can see what that code does is my old site fly.to/linkcity/

for MSIE click the view menu, then click source, it'll bring up notepad so you can view the HTML for the page. the "fly.to" domain stays in the address location bar on the browser, but the site's actually hosted on Angelfire! The visitors don't know what though!

Hi JP,

I'm not sure what kind of problem you mean, but this might help.

You can add this html to the page, and nothing else when you want to switch, and you should be done.

**snip** was forwarding to other page **snip**

That will redirect any new visitors to the new web site.

HTH
