For .htaccess Code RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^testbed\.dandello\.net$ RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.yabbforumsoftware\.com" [R=301,L] The above is from the redirect from a subdomain on dandello.net to here when I moved this site to its domain.

	Thanks for the help with this. I needed it as I had moved my YaBB Forum to a new folder on my server. I had changed the Paths.pl so after hitting the old folder it would change to the new one, but I still see I have more entry page hits starting on the old folder than directly going to the new one. This will create a 5 second pause and inform them of the new URL, and then redirect them there. Does the .httaccess redirect method support a message?

	You've moved your forum and can't use a server (.htaccess) redirect. Replace the contents of your *old* YaBB.pl file with: Code (Perl) #!/usr/bin/perl -- print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" or die 'cannot print line1'; print qq~ <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-us"> <head> <title>YaBB Webmaster redirect</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://mynewyabb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl" /> </head> <body style="background-color:#ffffff"> <p style="text-align:center">The content you are looking for has moved. You will be redirected to the new location automatically in 5 seconds. Please bookmark the correct page at <a href="http://mynewyabb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl">http://mynewyabb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl</a> </p> </body> </html>~ or die 'cannot print line2'; Since it's absolutely basic html you can style it however you want. It will automatically redirect to the new address. (Obviously you should point it to your new forum.)
