didnt work, all it did was redirect the portal button to the forum instead of the unreal portal. banner still goes to unreal portal

Go to
ACP->Look&Feel->Skin Manager->Your skin->Edit Template HTML->All Global HTML->global_board_header

Find the line that looks like this

<div class="borderwrap">
	<div id="logostrip"><a href='{$this->ipsclass->base_url}'><!--ipb.logo.start--><img src='style_images/logo.jpg' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:top' border='0' /><!--ipb.logo.end--></a></div>

and add

act=idx

right after base_url} but before '> into this portion of the line

<a href='{$this->ipsclass->base_url}act=idx'>

so it looks like

<div class="borderwrap">
	<div id="logostrip"><a href='{$this->ipsclass->base_url}act=idx'><!--ipb.logo.start--><img src='style_images/logo.jpg' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:top' border='0' /><!--ipb.logo.end--></a></div>
