Very nice but isn't it easier to put your mybb forum in a folder called
forums. And put a index.html in the main folder that has this code:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0;
url=http://www.yourlink.com/forums/portal.php">
this redirects you froum http://www.yourlink.com to http://www.yourlink.com/forums/portal.php
But still your mod works to nice job on it

I'm with him on this, but to an extent....doesn't doing a cPanel server
level redirect from http://yoururl.com to http://yoururl.com/forum work just as well?
I ask because from what I have read concerning seo, that redirects are less
desirable and should be avoided if possible to encourage crawling, so my
wonder is whether my current method is less desirable than the method this
plug in uses!
Well does it? LOL!
Seriously any insight would be appreciated, unless the purpose for the
plugin is for those hosting with a company that does not supply such
extensive access! If need be I will gladly start a thread for this if
anyone wishes me to!
TSG!

I really like this plug in, forcing my users to view the announcements/other portal information. one problem: I believe that people from google, etc. cannot get to the thread they want to, because they are redirected to the portal, since it's their first time that day.

This plugin works very well.
If a user is following a link from the search engine or elsewhere then it
will be directed to the expected topic.
Users are only redirected to the forums when they type the main URL. This
is excellent. You don't need to add a separate page or any other
redirection.
Thank you for sharing this plugin.

I love the idea of this plugin, but it doesn't work for me for some reason. It still takes me back to the index.php even when I put my url address in the ACP as http://www.911bodyrescue.com/locker/portal.php. :( I am using 1.4.13 which is the latest for mybb. I could change file names and recode... which I have done. Unfortunately, that messes up my tabbed menus by Labrocca. So, I was hoping this particular plugin would work.

Nice plugin but its simple and easier to edit your .htaccess file and add
this line to the bottom:
DirectoryIndex portal.php

Installed and activated, seemed to work intermittently for a short while,
now doesn't work at all.. Even if I try via a chrome incognito window.
My forum is in a folder domain.com/forum/ is this any reason?
Or maybe another plug-in conflicts? I installed ezGallery since..
Shame.. It makes having the portal useless...
