Morning everyone! I'm attempting to setup my new shiny domain with my new shiny forums and for the life of me can't get it right. I put in what I thought was right and waited the more than the min 72hrs to forward and nada. Here are my settings...if anyone sees anything wrong I'd appreciate some help...thanks so much!

My network solutions settings:

Hi, have you read this tutorial: https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board ?

Please note that the interface shown in the images may not look anything like yours, but the principal is the same.

Thanks for your reply, I have read that tutorial and am getting caught up in the terminology.
I am receiving the following error:
The supplied domain name is not well configured
You have no CNAME redirecting to : no-bs-gaming.forumotion.com
You have configured a A type DNS ( A type redirects to an IP address, and not to a textual domain name like the CNAME )

I thought I had a CNAME setup but I'm not understanding what the settings should be as per network solutions. Trial and error with a 72 hour wait and see is tough with all the variables. I was just hoping if someone saw something glaringly wrong please let me know. Thanks again
