Change the Forum Address "MyAddress.forumotion.com"

If you want to modify the Internet address of your board, you can do this in your admin panel in "General / Forum / Forum Address". That way you can also choose another domain name that is different from .forumotion.com.

Only the forum founder can do this manipulation. Normal Admins can not see this section in the admin panel.

Don't forget to tell all your members about the address change by using the mass E-mail, for example. An e-mail will also be sent automatically, to warn your members about this change. Wink

This option is not here to change your forum address every day!! When you change the address, all the referencement you did under the former address is lost. You have to have your forum indexed again on different websites and search engines.

There is also a timeframe (24 to 48 hours) in which your personal avatars and smilies aren't displayed. Re-installing won't help in this case - you have to wait until they re-appear again by themselves.
