    changing forum path

    Hello,
    I wanted to move my forum to /forums/ folder from main public_html
    I wantee to creat a web portal on main page.. So my question is : does changing forum path will affect mu search engine traffic and rankings..?? Bcz changing forum path will also change the URL structure.
    Means on this keyword "fsc physics notes" my forum ranks on top.. So after changing the forum path nd url structure will affect my this SERP ..?

    Or 1 thing more.. As "forum.php" & "index.php" do the same thing.. So if i change settings in vBSEO where it says
    Index.php
    Index.php?

    To

    Forum.php
    Forum.php?

    So then i think there is no effect on URL structure...right???

    So then i will replace index.php with my coded index so when user browse the site it will display index.. Nd when someone click on forum button it shows forum with forum.php...???? And also when user come from search engine.. It show forum/thread with same url as it was before but with forum.php
    Is it possible...??

    Hello,

    You still will need to add redirections to your root .htaccess, otherwise all of your indexed URLs won't work anymore.
