you could use a php or html redirect to have the default page in your web root forward to the forum subdomain. PHP Redirect (index.php): <?php
header('Location: http://forum.yoursite.com/');
exit;
?>HTML Redirect (index.html/index.htm/index.shtml): <html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://forum.yoursite.com/" />
</head>
<body>
<center><h1>We're now redirecting you to the portal</h1></center>
</body>

I think he means to have the portal displayed on www.mysite.com - in otherwords on a different site, whilst also having it on the forums web site.

I figured as much, and asis the onlyway i can think of doing anything remotely capable of doing that would be to do what i said above and forward to the portal page; the portal itself is tied into the forum, by using just the ubbthreads.php script in the web root would cause non functioning links, so a redirect to the working forum directory was what i figured could work like how he'd want.
Also, if you're planning on traffic from search engines, it's not recommended to seperate elements of your site by subdomains, as search engines treat subdomains as differant sites, so the ammount of pages on your site total will be drastically decreased from your forum not being on your web root.
