descalzo - Just to update I have edited the htaccess as you said but the site was not loading up 'fully' so I have now redirected the site to the /forum.
I had hoped to keep just the domainname.co.uk in the address bar.
Can you have a look at the site now, as what you have said to put into the htaccess has worked (sort of), it takes to the page but not all the content is loading up.
As you said I cleared cache yesterday and now I do get my domain name staying in the address bar and it takes me to the parent directory.
I have been into the hidden folder htaaccess file in the public root and edited/added to the first line the domain address, cleared the cache again but still...

Redirects to :
not redirected
Actions :

It took a few hours to carry over but it certainly has and I access my site using the domainname.co.uk or...

I set up a free hosting account yesterday evening and then downloaded a phpbb forum and got it live (really impressed with myself so far), I then bought a domain name specific to what my forum is...
