CMS Looking for SEO Advice regarding a redirect

[محروم.كوم]

I am one of those people that installed the entire vB4 suite at /forum. I actually had planned to post an entry page at the root, but have decided not to - and instead just use the CMS front page. So I create the following index.php and stuck it at the root:

PHP Code:

Which works great to instantly redirect my users over the the CMS landing page. However, this is viewed as:


HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

Any thoughts on how or if that will effect SEO/rankings? Would it be better to go through the pain of moving my site (including updating all the configurations, links in forum postings that point to other postings, verify file system rights, etc. etc.)?
