Hi,
1) You can redirect this either within a vhost.conf or htaccess file - or create an index.php with
<?php
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/threads/index.php"); /* Redirect browser */
exit;
?>
If you already have an index.html in that root folder, just make sure the server reads index.php first
2) Can't comment as I haven't checked yet - but it looks good so far - not sure how others have found it.
3) In the next version or two - photopost works well with ubbt7 at the moment - and hopefully Rick will have an import available (he hopes
)
4) Yes you should have no problems
5) Everything should be there - however you might need to alter paths and manually copy over images if your forums are located in a new sub-directory. Or build your new site in a new directory, then when you are happy copy it to your existing directory overwriting the the files (not forgetting to alter the paths in the config files)
Hope that helps - I am sure Rick or one of the others will correct me if I am wrong, or expand upon any answers.
