(if that line isn't there.. add it)

if you want to be clever you can also put in a redirect for all the requests coming in to the old default file.. by adding the line:
"Redirect oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/forum_dir/index.php"

obviously the values i've used as examples will need to be changed eg: forum_dir, oldfile.html.. etc
.htacess is blank?
Your starting to loose me now also
Any chance of heving the big word pretty picture version ?
