Yes, just have your direct address (sitename.com/index.htm) as some html page, which would re-direct you to the forum after few seconds.

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>BLANK</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL=http://www.sitename.com/forums/index.php">
<HEAD>
<BODY>Deliberately left blank. <BR>
You need to personally contact this person, to know any more details, about which directory/file you want.
<br>Anyway, You will be redirected to a forum in 10 seconds.
<br><img src="wait.gif" alt="please wait 10 seconds for re-direction"><!-- bt --></body>
</html>

The above is an example.

Hoping this helps....

insted of having the link go to the forum page, have it point to the page prathapml posted..

Example:

Main Site -> Intro -> Forum

so lets say we wanted to do this to MSFN.org...

www.msfn.org -> www.msfn.org/intro.html -> www.msfn.org/board/index.php

@darkfaith666

The above code doesn't need to be put into anywhere - it *IS* the html page itself!

Yeah i could go with prathapml. But you can also just have a intro page and make it a whole different page and then at the end just have a link saying "enter" or something and they click and it directs them to the forums B)
