UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Link Help

Can a forum that is displayed on the index page (first page where all the individual forums are listed) actually be made into a link??

What I need to do is make a new forum, but when anybody clicks on that forum it takes them to our sister site in another country, rather than opening into a forum. I tried to make the title of the forum a clickable url but it doesn't work, maybe I did it wrong???

why not just make a seperate index page?

well there is one workaround I can think of... but it isn't pretty.

Make a new template and a new forum. associate that template with only that forum. add a metarefresh to the header of the forum template and have it take you to the page you want.

Make a new template called "Sister site"
In the template, go into the header insert and add
Make a new forum called whatever the name of the sister site is.
Go into the forums settings.
Associate that template with that forum AND add
Click update and go into your forum summary, there should be the forum you made. Click the link and it should forward you to the site you wanted after a little loading.

An example of this can be seen at http://www.alforadmin.com/forums .

Click the forum called "UBBDEV"

I'm gonna look into an htaccess version of this in a second

Because it's a bit of subterfuge, I run site a in the USA, we don't cater for the particular type of bike riding, however site b (sister site) is in france, they do, it has been suggested that we have a similar forum, but I know that it will not be used that often if at all.
So I just wanted to add the forum but make the forum title a link to site b's forum, that way it introduces trail riding without me having to bother with another forum.
