Hi All

This one did some of the work

<?

// Replace my.site with your site

function checkReferrer()
{
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && preg_match(
'#^https?://my.site(/|$)#i', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
return true;
}
header('Location: /');
}

checkReferrer();

?>

But the point is its cool its gonna redirect you if you type the adress i
the browser... But if you click on the button "Forum" it should redirect you
to the forum, but its redirecting to the main page again, so im a little
stuck in a loop here... lol... It should redirect if you type direct in the
browser to the main page, but if you push the forum button on the main page
it should send you to the forum, but it dosnt,..

Best Regards
