I am making a little mod for my forum that will help search engine spiders see what we are discussing. The way it works is it takes all of my topics and replies and puts them on a single asp page. I have two questions about this:
What code can I put in the asp that will automatically re-direct to the main forum page, as soon the page is visited so the person doesn't have to load the entire page?
What code can I put in the asp file that will give the page a unique name?

Do you mean it'll make a new ASP page for each topic?

This one I don't get... sorry

If you're going to make a new page for each topic, you can use the topic title for the page title and the topic id as the URL so it'd look like http://www.yourserver.com/yoursite/topicid23242.asp

no, it's not even a new page for each topic... it's one single page that holds all the topics. I'll try to explain this better. Every single one of the topics is going to be held on the page "page.asp" (not the actual name of the page, but just as an example). When someone searches in a search engine and finds the page page.asp, they would click on it. Now, instead of loading the entire page.asp (because it would hold ALL of the topics and replies), how can I make it so that as soon as the person visits page.asp, it redirects them to default.asp?

Well, you could do a check to see that if the referring page isn't of the same domain, then the visitor should be redirected. This should prevent the page from redirecting searchengine spiders as they go through the entire site.
There's a topic in the Help: General/Current Version from a week or two, maybe three ago where someone wanted that done with the forums' default.asp: user had to have visited a certain site first or (s)he would be redirected. I'll see if I can find it, but I'd appreciate it if you took a look for yourself too
