Moving portal.php outside of your forums directory?

I'm finally thinking of updating to the new version. I used the knowledge base to move my portal.php outside my forums directory the day I stall my portal. Will the instructions for this version be the same?

I've been holding off upgrading to the newest version (even if it is a beta) since ATM it seems impossible to us the portal as a site index.
Any plans to implement this?

Hello, instead of ignoring this valid question, could someone at least tell me if can be done? I have quite a few links in other websites with the portal.php outside of the forums. In of course with search engines such as Google. Thanks

Sorry Victory. They have me still as a newly registered user and cannot reply to your PMs. I did get it.

I'm very curious about the methods used to accomplish this as well. I currently have version 1.0.6 with the portal set up outside the forum directory. In order to upgrade to 2.0, this is something I'd definitely need to know. Any help would be vastly appreciated
