How do I get my forum page URL to look like this:

www.example.com/



instead of:


www.example.com/forum/

By uploading/moving the folders and files of vBulletin to your public_html or httpdocs (up to your panel)

I suspected I had to do something like this. Can you give me any more details/info so I dont destroy my site when attempting to do this? My FTP is SmartFTP

1) Extract the vBulletin file and get into the folder upload.
2) Select and copy them all.
3) Go to ftp and open your public_html (or httpdocs, it's up to your panel) and paste them all there.

If you have your forums running in /forums/ folder:
1) Go to your AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details
2) After changing your url, open your ftp client.
3) Move everything in /forum/ to public_html (or httpdocs)

That's all.

Well, it worked, but I had to change all the image paths in the admin panel.
