removing a url

hi

Not sure if im posting in the right place i currently have 3 forumotion forums, but have decided to just have the 1 forum (still with forumotion) and register the urls from the other 2 to just be redirects to the first forum.

Can i remove the bought urls?

any advice would be great

Thanks
Simon

I think you will have to change the URL's, or link them so how?

Remove the bought URL's, do you mean delete them?

no not delete the bought url's transfer them to a third party that could do a redirect for me (or if forumotion could do it) then delete the forum that it used to go to

Hmmm... not sure if you can do this yet. If you get a no that it is not possible to do that yet, then I suggest you just put the forums under construction and in the construction message put in big letters your new forum address.

yeah thats what i've already done but i have merchadise with the url on so need that to go to the right site preferably

i unsure what gunge31 is asking?
i think he is saying that he has a few other places he wants to close but have his link leading to his new place?
if that's the case close registrations. and set all forums permissions set for admins only.this way if a member log's in there not seeing any of the forums you have there.

now in your homepage Generalities have your link leading to the place you have open.

if this is not what you mean my apologies. please explain a Lil better.I'm a Lil confused on why your asking to delete the other url links?if your deleting them links then you either changing them or your deleting the old forums and would have no way or no ware for the redirect link.

but as far as changing the url forum your forums that are now closed and having it lead to the one that is open. then no you can not do that.all it would do is change your link and go to the forum that it was before you changed the link.

ok your above quote was sent the same time i just sent my last reply above.
can you post your forum link or provide a screen shot?

edit: i may have worked this out

are forumotion able to let the bought urls be taken to a third party to be used as redirects or set up a redirect them selves

If you mean you want to use your domain name brought from forumotion to be used somewhere else, yes you can. You will need to do that at your third party end, you will get some code from typlo as well.

right so done everything at the 3rd party end is there anything else i could do

I think thats all, if it works fine.

reply from my 3rd party


If you would still like to link southwalesrenault.net to your website hosted on
our server, please enter the following name servers with your registrar
by May 14, 2009 at 09:36:00 AM:

DNS1: ns59.1and1.co.uk
DNS2: ns60.1and1.co.uk


how do i do this ?
or who do i contact to do this?

cheers
Simon

i'm not wanting an externall domain change i want a bought url that i bought through forumotion to be transfered to an external server or a re direct set up with forumotion

so when i type in
southwalesrenault.net i go to swfco.net

Can this be done i need to change the dns settings in the next 8 days or i will loose the transfer according to my servers


HELP would be great as i feel im going round in circles, sorry if the info has already been given and i cant see it im not that good with computers

That has to be done at your external side. Also PM typlo, he will help you regarding the transfer of your domain.
