thanks for the answer. Only two questions
how do I find out the ID of my forum ( as I said IŽm a noob)

and second, wouldŽnt that mean if I do it your way people who lock into my mainpage will end up in the forum ?. the forum is part of my main page www.loosenyourmind.com and www.loosenyourmind.com/esoterikforum.html.
I think this is what this zipfile is suppose to do. If I understand this right (user viet4777 ) wrote a seperate login.php just for the fireboard component, and If i would understand how to implement it I would have allready

By the way the same thing is anoying in this forum also you lock into the forum and endup on your mainpage.

and by the way, how do I get those advertisement banners insertet

soo...

I added this to my 1.0.5RC2 install and it destroyed the layout.

I was unable to view anything upon click of the forum button
just white page with some basic links on it

I am using joomla 1.0.15

so I had to change it back

is this file available for the 1.05rc2 version of FB and the J 1.0.15 ?

please assist because the login feature that redirects back to the home page is annoying is annoying, users are getting lost and distracted.

Thanks in advance
