    Description of problem

    Okay so my problem here is with the forum domain name, basically i bought a domain name (.com) and used it to redirect to my forumotion forum (forwarded) but the problem is the links are all the same (as my forum's name) unlike the original forum link, my guess is its something related to the 'personalized domain name' but i still don't know how to configure it there, any help? thanks in advance.

    Did you purchase the domain name through Forumotion?

    if you got your domain name outside of Forumotion you need to follow this https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-cname-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board.

    If you are having problems with that then you need to call your Domain host and they should give you the help you need.

    Sadly we do not really offer support for domains purchased out side of or host Forumotion
