I have created a custom template, and want to add it as the homepage when you go to:
HTML: 
mysite.com

I want to see my custom template page which currently has the link:

HTML: 
mysite.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=sponsors

I know I could setup a redirect on my server CPanel, that I don't want to redirect, because then in the address bar it would not show as

HTML: 
mysite.com

... it would show as

HTML: 
mysite.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=sponsors

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

one way to do what i think your asking would be putting that index into your website home then making a directory for your forums
so your template would be
yoursite.com
and your forums would be
yoursite.com/forums

am i even close to what your talking about lol

Probably a dumb question, but how do I convert it to html?

I have the html document of the content I've added to my custom template, but if I upload the html file, the header/ footer etc will not show... will it? *confused* :D
 
it must be named "index.html" EXACTALLY LIKE THAT, and there must not be another index in the same location wether its php or anything the only index that can be in one directory is the main page. so move ALL your vb files to a folder called forums or w/e you want, and then in your FTP you should have only an index.html file and a forums folder
 
use PHP and do an fsockopen, then echo the contents of that in your index.php, you will probably need to find some way of forwarding the cookies....
