If you have sight issues, a visit to an optometrist is advised.

(EDIT: Ah.. I see you got sight of your error! )

schoolboy, wouldn't it have been more helpful to have pointed them to the FAQ for their topic rather than smacking them around for a spelling mistake?

Yeah.. It was just a light-hearted joke... I am prone to being humerous occasionally. (humourous)

I was going to get back to it... apologies for any offence (or as those in the US would say offense .:D

When you're done moving the site from the folder to root, if searchengines have already indexed the site using URLs in the folder, you'll need to add some redirects so that visitors coming from SERPs don't just hit the 404 error page and leave. These redirects will also signal to the searchengines to update what they have indexed from your site.
