How was this CNAME issue resolved? I am having the same issue. When I setup a CNAME record on my DNS server to point to our free forum it directs us to forum.grafbb.com instead of our forum page. Please help. Thanks.

WHERE IS DNS MANAGEMENT IN ADMIN PANEL ?

can someone give an answer ?

[ifzombie]

DNS?

[spRy]

dns or some cpanel,where I can edit my domain... ?

edit: of course,my .org domain...

[ifzombie]

oh, yea, um you need to go to the admin panel then click on the "GENERAL" tab, and then click on "FORUM ADDRESS", then click on "PERSONALIZED DOMAIN NAME"


you should be able to reach it from there, or check in the "MISC" section.

i know for that,but i need cpanel for my .org domain,which i 'buy' from credits...

[spRy]

?

[ifzombie]

i kind of don't understand what you mean..if i were you, i would try asking one of the admins or mods.

[spRy]

i'm from montenegro,and my english is not really good.sorry.

i has a domain .org,but i want to change,edit to redirect to the other site,if that can... ? how ?

[ifzombie]

ohhh

alright, well i think that you need an admin to do that for you. I think that i've seen this before, but yeah, ask an admin.

If you buy your domain through forumotion, you don't have to bother with cnames... the forwarding happens automatically.

If you bought the .org domain outside FM, you probably will find some useful infos in this tutorial.
