    In progress Create a forum with my existing domain name.

    Post by DigiDave July 2nd 2017, 6:04 am

    I am not getting an option in the drop down box re the address field during the initial forum creation process; other than forumotion.com

    I want to use my domain name that I already had before I came to forumotion.

    How do I achieve this?

    Are you going to be transferring your forum to Forumotion? There is no other options to choose except for the ones that are available when creating your forum.

    I do not have a forum. Everything is OK now. I just signed up with a server that's optimized for phpBB and going to install phpBB3.2. If I get stuck with the learning curve and do my head in, I will for sure come back and see what you guys can do.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Much appreciated.

    Hello,

    First of all, you will need to create a Forumotion forum with the Forumotion.com domain name. After that, you can follow the steps of this tutorial :
