[mobilemania]

hi,

firstly i tried to buy a domain with points but the ones i wanted were not available,
so i paid for one externally.
i have entered where i want the domain to point to and it gets to my forum fine but when i arrive it shows up as XXXXX.forumotion.com in the adress bar not my new domain name.
i tried to enter the new domain in admin panel but it keeps coming back with ERROR message ''The supplied domain name is not well configured''
can anyone PLEASE Help Me.?.

this is the message i keep gettig ::


''The supplied domain name is not well configured''

Configuration of an external domain name.

When you choose the sub-domain which you wish to use on your forum (forum.my_domain, for example, is a sub-domain of my_domain), you have to create the corresponding CNAME entrance in the DNS administrator of your domain: a CNAME entrance allows to point an url towards the other one in a transparent way. in this way, you can link forum.my_domain to adress.my_forum.

Any recorder of domains names possesses different interfaces, and thus different methods to create such CNAME.
However, in a general way, the process takes place as follows:
Connect to your user account on the site of your domain name provider, and go to the DNS management.
Check that the chosen sub-domain is not already used.
In the generally entitled field "source", "origin", or "alias" enter the prefix of sub-domain (i.e. "Forum" if you want to use the sub-domain forum.my_domain).
In the generally entitled field "destination" or " target host ", enter the original url of your forum, adress.my_forum.
You will maybe have to inform the TTL (Time To Live): give the maximal possible value.

After validation, you should obtain a line of this type:

but if i change the CNAME will i not loose the Name Server and be unable to use the Domain ??
sorry if this sounds stupid to you but this is all Very New to me and its the first time i have had to add a Domain.
