How do I make a board link directly to a Website?

Hello! I was wondering where I can get code to make a board link directly to an external site. I found code before but was advised not to use it because it was for an old version of ProBoards.

Hi, blod.

This is actually a built-in feature in the current version of ProBoards. When editing a board's settings in Structure > Categories & Boards go into the Settings tab and find the field called Redirect URL. Enter the link you'd like the board to go to in that field. Upon saving your changes that board should now redirect to the link you specified rather than its contents.

Note that while a redirect board can still hold threads its contents will be completely inaccessible to anyone who isn't the forum's main admin, so redirecting to a thread or post contained within a redirect board unfortunately doesn't work.
