Put SMF at www.unknownscape.com. TP is a mod of SMF and has to be in the same directory as SMF.

You have to install SMF in your root directory.  In other words you have to install it at www.unknownscape.com and NOT www.unknownscape.com/forums.

Once you get that done then the TP mod will display the home page at www.unknownscape.com if you have it setup to do a homepage..   

Hope this helps.

I see how you have it setup, but I can't get to your forums anyway, just a blank screen for me.. 

I really don't think I understand what you want.    With TP and the way I said earlier you can do pretty much the same thing as you have on there now..  Just TP as the main page.

The site you mentioned has the forum on an .html page. I'm not even sure that they are using SMF or TinyPortal, since there are no copyright lines at the bottom of the page. (They may have paid to remove the SMF copyright.)

Technically, I suppose it would be possible to do what you want. Most anything is possible. However, it would be a great deal of work and it's doubtful that you would find anyone willing to put that much effort into something that changes nothing about the actual functionality of the site. If it's important to you to have the setup you describe, the only thing I can suggest is that you do it yourself.

fotozone.es are using MKportal not TP (LOOKED AGAIN AND SAW THAT IT WAS INDEED TP)

And they are breaking the license agreement by modifying the footer

Runelocus.com has a HTML page for the frontpage. It is not TP or SMF. They then link to the forum. TP is a mod to SMF. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY AT THE CURRENT TIME TO SEPARATE THEM. You can use some of TP's functions to make pages appear that they are using TP etc if you'd like. But what you are asking to separate them into different folders is NOT possible at this time.

Who is the "poster below"?

If you have found someone who has done it, then I would suggest that you contact that person to see if he or she can help you.
