    I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my forum had changed address from vampire-legend.com to vampire-legend.net

    I noticed a few months ago that another site I use changed from darkbb.com to darkbb.net or darkbb.info

    Is this something to do with some upgrades to the forums or something, and will I get my original forum URL back when it's done?

    That only lets you change the name of your site, not where it is hosted. Thanks anyway though.

    Hello,

    You can change your forum address here:
    Admin Panel(Advanced Mode) -> General -> Under forum tab -> Forum address, Change it there -> Save

    A few weeks ago, we'd been having several issues with darkbb.com domain, guess it's fixed now.

    I don't want to change my URL, or the name of my site, I just want to know if the .net suffix will be changed back to the .com suffix at some point.

    You can already access your forum with darkbb.com address, it's been fixed already a couple of weeks ago, link to that forum please?

    Okay, maybe I'm not being very clear. My forum had a vampire-legend.com suffix and has been changed, without my knowledge to a vampire-legend.net suffix.

    Is this due to some forum upgrade? If so, will it be changed back to .com at some point.

    My initial forum address was: http://hollowbridge.vampire-legend.com

    It is now: http://hollowbridge@vampire-legend.net

    I'm not sure about this, I can still access the site using the .com suffix but it redirects to the link .net, it still directs to the original forum so there's no problem, but in this case, Typlo may be able to answer/help you, Try to pm Typlo about your problem.
