The OP said nothing about using a domain address - she just said "changed her address." I think it would be appropriate to ask why she changed it, to what, and if this is even a question of using a domain she purchased. IOW - you can't just "change your address."

yes you can, admin panel>general>forum adress

it's the first option right there.

You can change your normal address, but you can't just automatically get a domain name.

Ok first off check the email you should have recieved that said the address was changed.
Secondly if that doesnt work try use the old address as it may not have changed yet can take up to 24 hours.
Thirdly if that doesnt work go here https://www.forumotion.com/en/utils/ log in using your first password and email or website address and try reset your forum to how it was just before you changed the name it should change the name back
