XF 1.5 home page

[DieselMinded]

about to do a fresh install , i dont want my forum to be the home page but instead have a home page similar to xenforo that follows the css style etc. is that built in?

something like this

http://www.audentio.com/demo/xf/index.php?pages/proximity-home/

would that be default ?

The home page on this site is custom developed for here.

You would need a custom solution/add-on to achieve something similar.

something like this

http://www.audentio.com/demo/xf/index.php?pages/proximity-home/

would that be default ?

That is using a Page node, which is default functionality.

so if i wish to use a pagenode as home page what directory should i do fresh install in?

In most (if not all) cases, if you want to use a home page which is part of XF code (page node, add-on), then you would install XF in the root.

wouldn't that make the forum itself the home page?

You just set the index page route to be something other than /forums.
