absolutely, you can put your forum w/e you want..

now, if you have files in the root, they can't overlap.

What do I have to check to make sure they do not overlap?

Other than the /forums/ file, just the files the hosting company put in there.

ya, I'd delete them
and then log into your acp, vboptions > general settings

then move all the contents of the forum folder, to the public_html

btw, i see you at AF :p

if you have a gallery or vba, you'll have to make a small edit in 1 or 2 php files.

Or you can add an index.html file in your root directory, redirectioning (don't know if this word even exist xD) to forums/index.php
