    Solved Cannot change Forum Link?

    Post by sevdabeast June 29th 2015, 5:52 pm

    Hey, first of all I am not sure if this is the exact place to post this but I can't change my domain name 
    http://dgsbloodchillers.englishboard.net/

    I want to change it because englishboard.net is flagged as unsafe (i know its safe) but because it might also reduce chances of getting visits to my page. It is ALL of the englishboard.net webs that are flagged and I cant change it. I get this error
    Cannot change Forum Link? Unable10

    Any help will be greatly appreciated! Smile

    If it helps, Its only Mcafee who is flagging it. No other Anti virus is.

    The issue is with all forums with that extension.  We will have to wait until our ProAdim (Buttercup) logs on for information about this issue.

    Hello

    I am not sure to well understand what you are saying about the sub-domain and the anti-virus. But, anyway you can change your sub-domain: AP>> General>> Forum address>> Sub-domain

    @Buttercup.   The issue is that he can not load his forum at all.  He gets an message from McAfee.

    Hey guys, sorry for late response but I found a fix.
    Buttercup's fix works as I tried it but what I did was email Mcafee, they scanned the website so now, whenever somebody uses mcafee web advisor to try and go to a "englishboard.net" website, it will work..

    All the englishboard.net websites were flagged and I told them about it. They checked it all and fixed all the websites ratings also Very Happy

    Thanks for the help to all of you though Smile. Really appreciate it!
