Well in the brilliant and amazing latest upgrade of vBulletin Software to 4.x and tricky on how to make your Forum Home as the default Home page, the 2 ways are:

Option 1:

  1. Find index.php in the installation folder. Open the index.php file in a text editor.
  2. At the bottom find this line
    require(‘content.php’);
    Comment out this line as with two forward slashes
    //require(‘content.php’);
  3. Find this line
    //require(‘forum.php’);
    By default its commented. Take off the two forward slashes to uncomment it as
    require(‘forum.php’);

Option 2:

  • Find index.php in the installation folder. Rename index.php to something else e.g. index_discarded.php
  • Find forum.php in the installation folder. Rename it to index.php
  • Login to admin cp
  • Expand settings
  • Click on options
  • Click on Forums Home Page Options from the menu and then click on Edit Settings button
  • Find the section “Script Name for Forum Home Page”. By default forum is the value in the textbox there.
  • Change the textbox value to index
  • Click on the Save button

Cheers! And you’re done.
