    Did you buy the domain name from outside the ACP or did you use the ACP to buy the Domain?

    I bought the domain i just say that:

    When i put forum.yugioh.gr, forumotion allows me when i click forum.yugioh.gr to go to my forum (not redirect!)

    When i put www.yugioh.gr, forumotion allows me to make a redirect forum my forum

    Example: forum.yugioh.gr/t500-topic (its ok)

    www.yugioh.gr/t500-topic (it will be automatically yugiohgr.forumgreek.com/t500-topic)

    this is what i mean, i would like to keep it www.yugioh.gr/t500-topic

    Hi,


    You can only enter one CNAME into your ACP. You can use www or forum or anything else but only once at a time.

    So you need to redirect :
    - www.yugioh.gr to forum.yugioh.gr into the admin panel of your domain (if u choosed forum on your Forumotion ACP)
    or
    - forum.yugioh.gr to www.yugioh.gr into the admin panel of your domain (if u choosed www on your Forumotion ACP)

    But this has to be done where you bought the .gr domain

    Your board can respond only to 2 URL.
    1. The basic one yugiohgr.forumgreek.com
    2. The bought one, as you entered it in your Forumotion ACP, actually forum.yugioh.gr

    If you want a third url to allow users to reach your board, you must redirect that URL on one of the 2 URLs known by your forum.

    So :
    1. Use a CNAME to link your favourite URL favourite.yugioh.gr to yugiohgr.forumgreek.com (.gr domain panel)
    2. Use any redirect of your choice from secondary.yugioh.gr to favourite.yugioh.gr (.gr domain panel)
    3. Enter the favourite.yugioh.gr as your domain on Forumotion ACP

    Now content can be reached with 3 URL but indexed on only two of them :

    - http://favourite.yugioh.gr/t500-topic -> http://favourite.yugioh.gr/t500-topic No redirect
    - http://yugiohgr.forumgreek.com/t500-topic -> http://yugiohgr.forumgreek.com/t500-topic No redirect
    - http://secondary.yugioh.gr/t500-topic -> http://favourite.yugioh.gr/t500-topic Redirected to the eaxct subdomain you linked to your board.
    - http://anything.yugioh.gr/t500-topic -> http://yugiohgr.forumgreek.com/t500-topic or any board like http://yugiohgr.forumotion.com/t500-topic if someone had the idea to create a forum on any language with yugiohgr as subdomain. I mean with no guarantee that redirect will always move to the right board.
