Is there any reason why you can't just link to the message board?

I'm not sure I understand you very well. Can you give us links to your page(s) and try and describe your problem in more detail?

Possible we're talking about an automatic redirect? You can do this with JavaScript on the client side. On the server side, you could do it with PHP using the header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/"); command (must be done before any output sent to the browser).

Try something like this for the page that you want to automatically redirect to what we'll call the "test.html" page for this example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect to Test Page</title>
<script launguage="JavaScript">
location.replace("http://www.yoursite.com/test.html");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you are not automatically re-directed in a few seconds, then click on the link below:<p>
<p><a href="http:/www.yoursite.com/test.html">Test Page</a></p>
</body>
</html>

yes that does work thank you, my only other question is, it comes up with the old site for about 5 seconds before it directs is there any way to get rid of this, or directly link to the page

You could try using this pause function (http://www.sean.co.uk/a/webdesign/javascriptdelay.shtm) I found on the 'net.

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect to Test Page</title>
<script launguage="JavaScript">
function pausecomp(Amount)
{
d = new Date() //today's date
while (1)
{
mill=new Date() // Date Now
diff = mill-d //difference in milliseconds
if( diff > Amount ) {break;}
}
}

location.replace("http://www.yoursite.com/test.html");

pausecomp(10000);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you are not automatically re-directed in a few seconds, then click on the link below:</p>
<p><a href="http:/www.yoursite.com/test.html">Test Page</a></p>
</body>
</html>
