LInk forum to domain

by BeadThrilled January 14th 2011, 3:13 pm

Likely it's been asked a million times before, but I need to be sure as I've got quite a few members using my forum and don't want to interrupt, if that happens, them too much.

A redirect of my forum 'beadthrilled.actieforum.com' then showing 'www.beadthrilled.com/forum' in de URL address is possible?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried it? I think that will work and will be redirected to your forum index.

Thanx! That's the question. Just wanted to be sure... Smile

Cool, glad to help Very Happy

Today I learned it can not be directed to 'www.beadthrilled.com/forum' but only to 'www.beadthrilled.com'.

If I change at the ACP -> Forum address to 'www.beadthrilled.com' it won't give any problems? Will the portal be shown first, or the forum index? Or nothing?

I suppose I can still use credits to wipe advertisements from this address?

TIA!

You bought this domain from Forumotion?

No sorry, had it in place before doing the forum here...

The option to have /forum /gallery is for domains that have been bought from Forumotion.

Let me rephrase the question.
Can I run beadthrilled.actieforum.com on my domain www.beadthrilled.com ?

Cause from the ACP where is states "You can have one in the credits management, either you can indicate below a domain name that already belongs to you and which you have configured to use with your forum." I read that that I can have beadthrilled.actieforum.com on my domain www.beadthrilled.com.

Hope to hear back soon! Thanks!

I'm still hoping for a definite answer.
I can't risk my members can't get to the forum because of re-addressing it to www.beadthrilled.com when it won't work.

TIA!
