how do i add Redirect on some boards?

To make it so that when they click on the Boards Name it goes to a specific page:

Admin > Boards
Modify the Board
For the Board's Name do this:

Code: [Select]
<a href="url goes here">Board Name</a>

If you want it to open in a new window/tab:

Code: [Select]
<a href="url goes here" target="_blank">Board Name</a>

Wouldnt you have to do
Code: [Select]
</a><a href="url goes here">Board Name</a>
?

No.  It is not necessary
It redirects fine as it is.
The url for the board gets closed right after the the redirect url.  (note the 2 </a>s in the source code)
If you put that extra </a> in you wind up with 3 of them  - 1 just before the redirect url and 2 after it.   ;)
