Dayzed 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 Alright, I have my site set up using the LUE2 source that I have edited. I cannot think of anything to do to make it 'original' so I want to use a different source. Is there a way I can have 'two' message boards? Would I just set a subdomain for it and call it something like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ if I wanted to do a subdomain? I want to code a board from scratch, but I dont want to have to get rid of my current site to do it until I get it perfected. So it will have next to no members and take up no disc space. Is there a way I could do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the new board would be accessible through http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Then is the problem of redirecting everyone to your new board. If you have current users in the present board, just make a new file called index.html and keep it in the source folder. These should be the contents of the index.html file: <html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=http://yoursite.XISTO.com/newfolder/;</head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">You will be redirected to the new board in 3 seconds...</body></html> Notice that there are 2 variables here in the code. 1. content="" : Determines the time in seconds after which the user will be redirected to the new url 2. url=http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists//;: Determines where the user will be redirected to... You can play around with this... So next time a user types http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, he will be taken to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists// Isn't this fun?
