Yes. Go to where you edit the boards, and in there, it should have a spot where it lets you redirect the board. Just put in the board URL you want to redirect it to.

OK, do this;

Admin CP >> Forum Control >> Manage Forums >> Pick the board you want to redirect to >>> Press Settings >>> You'll see something that says: URL to redirect this forum to: <URL GOES HERE>

Hope that helps.

as you can see from what I highlighted... this would actually redirect the forum you are editing to the URL you write in.......... that's not what you want.

You actually will have to edit the settings of the phpBB board and write in the URL of your IPB forum where you want it to go...

Unfortunately I can't help you with that because I haven't got a phpBB board and don't know how to do it.
I think you would get more help if you asked the question in the phpBB help section
as this is the IPB help section and your question was here for a while and no good advice was given to you here.

Good luck

No Chipper, that is not what the user wants.

Unfortunately you can't redirect your forum straight to your new one, there are probably ways of doing it through JavaScript however to do so would violate forumer terms and conditions.
