Well I really don't know what you mean but... You can go to the Advertise part of the support forum and Advertise your forum. If you mean like one site to another its not possible. You have to manually get people to join the other one. You can turn forum maintnence on and the message saying "Go register at [Your forum]" If this is not what you need PM me.

No, I mean like when people go to my old forum, it will re-direct them to my new one.

Either do as said and put the forum into Maintenance Mode with a link to the new forum or use a redirect script:

Code: [Select]
<script>
var FirstUrl = "old site url"
var RedirectedUrl = "new site url"
if (location.href.match(FirstUrl)){
window.location.href = ""+RedirectedUrl+""
}
</script>

In your header.
Make sure to edit it - put in the old and new links
