What files would I need to change the link default.asp to active.asp in order to use the active.asp in place of the default.asp?

The login link in login.asp and the menu link in inc_header.asp?

Others?

With this change, members could instantly see everything that's going on across the entire website and when they wanted to see the list of all of the forums they would simply need to go to that webpage.

It sure seems like a good idea to me! Any cons with this?

And, obviously, that works.

But, a lot of my members are elderly and don't know how to bookmark and they can't seem to find their way around on the site. This should make it much easier for them.

the problem is more related to IIS than to the forum itself, when you have an asp site the default page is generaly default.asp, so typing in a url would http://mydomain.com/forum would result in IIS loading default.asp, you could change the settings in IIS so that it loads active.asp instead, changing the pointers in the forum code itself would require some careful thought as it could affect many things.
