XF 1.5 Forums to open one node instead of index page

[IPF]

I want my forum to directly open a node instead of a list of forums.

Is it possible to make http://www.myforum.com/community/index.php to redirect to http://www.myforum.com/community/index.php?forums/node-name.166/

If this is possible, how should I do it?

Thanks.
IPF.

Change the Index Page Route in the ACP to forums/node-name.166/

Thanks @Brogan. I did this already but when I clicked on the forums tab, it still opened a page with a list of nodes. Just want to make sure if this is how it is supposed to work.

Yes, the Forums tab will always show the forum index.

The index page route changes the landing page when visitors access the URL for the site.

Thanks @Brogan.

@Brogan if I set access per usergroup to a selected page node, will this work to give each usergroup their own landing page?

It seems logical but I just want to be sure Ive understood.

No.

If visitors don't have permission to access the URL set as the index page, they will receive a permissions error/log in page.
