My new forum is not in Directory and no backup found

[pdun459]

Hi. I created this forum yesterday: http://waitetarotforum.forumotion.com/. However, today I changed the address to: http://waitetarot.forumotion.com/. I haven't been able to find it in the Directory under either name, though "Participate" is enabled in the Administration Panel. I tried searching the Directory but that didn't find it either. Could the address change have anything to do with it?

Also, I've been checking Founder's Tools for a backup but there still isn't one. In the Administration Panel>Security, "Automatic daily forum backup" is enabled. Could the address change have anything to do with that as well?

Thanks.

Hello!
It is possible that the name change is causing this as the system may not have had enough time to log the new information and do a backup. I would give it about 24 to 48 hours and check again!

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
James

Directory:
Hello your forum is still new it can take about 3 weeks for it to be put on our Directory it will not happen over night.

Backup's:
backups are done on our system for the first 2 weeks then a date will show up on your tools.
This is 100% normal and you will not see a date for backup's until the first 2 weeks have gone and past.

Google and bing:
Your forum is new and it is a good move to add your forum to google and bing this can be done in 2 or 3 ways
