Forgot how to redirect the /forums to the main page

Yea, so I just changed hosts, and have to reup all of the original content, and then do a backup.

And of course the backup my original host gave me wasn't 100% complete.

So instead of Index of / working, you have to go to Bleepd

How do I just have Index of / be the homepage and for the forums?

I know it has something to do with the .htaccess, I just forgot exactly what to do.

And also, what do I need to add for the Index of / and bleepd.com direct being the same for searches and stuff?
