Setting forum to a .com

[kradacious]

Ive heard that setting a proboards forum to http://www.*** .com instead of forum.***.com forces me to give up any and all subdomains that I plan to have?

Or this is false and I can have all the subdomains id like even if I do point the forums to http://www.***.com

i.e I can have www.website.com/anythinghere if the forum is pointed to www.website.com

Hi,

You wouldn't be able to have www.website.com/anythinghere point to somewhere else, if the domain was set to load your forum, however, at the same time, that is not a sub-domain. A sub-domain is in the format of [red]sub[/red].domain.com. You can have the forum set to load as a subdomain of your domain, for example, under forum.website.com, leaving you to use the domain for your other options, and pages you want

Okay so if www.forum.com is the forum, then I can have no other pages? Unless its forum.website.com, then I can have other pages.

if I have it correct, then thanks.

I made this mistake in my forum and you can get onto it by going whatever.blahdomain.com efc. So you're correct (I think).

That would be correct. Yes.

If I set proboards to point to my .com domain, can I still upload images via ftp?
to http://www.*****.com/images


And I have hosting, but do I even need it if I want proboards to display on my domain?

[Craig]

If you have the full domain used for the proboards forum, than no.

Also if i make www.forum.mydomain.com point to forum still ppl can click www.zzzz.proboards.com and go to it or they gotta only use www.forum.mydomain.com?

1) Yes.

2) members can access your forum from both urls, however you can use a code to hide the forum when accessed via the pb url if you want.

Dont feel like making a new topic.

When I purchase 'Ad-Free credits'. I realize that it's best to purchase them on the first of the month rather than in the middle of the month.

What time zone is this for? If I do it at 12:10am EST, will I have it for the full month or should I actually do it at 3:10EST.

Please start a new thread for a new question, as this makes it easier to attend to each question properly.
