Go to your cPanel, or whatever control panel your host uses, and do a 301 redirect.
You want to direct www.digitalhacks.co.uk (http://www.digitalhacks.co.uk) to www.digitalhacks.co.uk/forum (http://www.digitalhacks.co.uk/forum).

If the above fails then either of these options will work. No need to use both.
You need to create a new or edit the existing .htaccess file in the root directory
.htaccess in domain root
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.digitalhacks.co.uk/forum/ [L,R=301]
alternatively you could create an index.php file redirect to the forum.
create the index.php with the code below and upload it to the root directory.
<?php
header('Location: http://www.digitalhacks.co.uk/forum/');
?>
