Paid Domain - Redirect Old Domain

[Kylesw555]

Not really a feature but definitely a request.

Basically I have my own domain linked to my forum and with the current setup people can still access my forum through the old domain which I don't like but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.

What I'm suggesting for V5 is that when a Domain is linked, rather than still being able to view the forum on the old URL, the old URL 'redirects' to the new domain so that the new domain is still displayed in the Address Bar.

Hi,

the reason it's setup so the pb url can be used, is so if there was ever a problem with your domain, or you didn't renew it, the forum can still be accessed.

Yes but it can return to normal in that case.

It does require more automation then, which isn't as easy as it sounds. (I'm still all for finding a way to do this though. )

One solution is:

domain.proboards.com/admin will not domain hop. Just like disabling codes on the ACP, you disable the domain hopping too.
