I had the portal set as index.php and the forum then became index.php?forum. I want to return the forum as index.php but folks have booksmarks that point to the index.php?forum. How can I redirect (rewrite?) the index.php?forum >>>index.php?

index.php?forum and index.php will continue to work after the change is made.
My index is www.valvetime.net but if you go to www.valvetime.net/index.php?forum it redirects to the correct place. It will continue to do so for you.

When I disable the portal, /tlc3/index.php becomes the forum home. I had a bookmark to the forum page while the portal was set as the index controller and that link was /tlc3/index.php?forum.
After disabling the portal and with the forum set as /tlc3/index.php, that old bookmark throws an error, The requested page could not be found.

I will give that a shot tonight. Thanks ragtek.
While not normally used for this purpose, this addon also works for backwards route changes like this:
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/route-changer.447/
"forum" (which doesn't exist) is mapped to "index" (which does exist). So when some one visits "forum" it loads the index. And because "index" is canonicalized in XF it will actually redirect the URL to "index".
