    The redirects are working fine now, however. When I type http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/

    I get redirected to the homepage. How do I make it stay on forums?

    If you are getting redirected to the homepage, it sounds like you forgot to make the CRR and you are simply hitting your 404 error page which has its rule set to redirect to the homepage.

    I've followed the 2nd set of instructions perfectly and still it's not working? Is there something I'm missing?

    it's redirecting to forums perfectly. But when I go to www.nbadimensions.net the CMS doesn't come up.

    throwing a 403 likely has nothing to do with this setup, but rather invalid server configuration.

    check your chmod permissions on the root folders. Normal folders should be 755.

    Puts the CMS in root, outside of your forums folder, with no /content/ redirect and your forums remain in their subfolder as always.
    What does that mean? I've put my content.php in the root, is there folders im missing?

    The only file that needs to move is the index.php file (copy to root) and the htaccess file (as outlined in the above directions thread). Nothing else should be moved. If you're still having issues with this, please open a ticket with login details

    I've managed to get the homepage to come up at..

    NBA Fans, Blogs, News & Rumours - NBA Basketball Forum

    but when I go to www.nbadimensions.net it doesn't come up I'm sure theres one little error missing.

    EDIT: It's normal now, thankyou very much.
