the most you can do is redirect to your forum because PB will break out of frames and you cannot download it.

hi,

thanks. How do you redirect it to forum?

Someone i know she has eg www.blahblah.co.uk and when clicked on this it leads to her proboard forum. Im quite confused by this?

does it come with webspace?
If you do, create a page in the home directory, call it "index.html", and put the following in:

---

<script>
self.location="YOUR BOARD URL";
</script>
If you are not redirected, click <a href="YOUR BOARD URL">here</a>

It is an auto-redirect URL. When you go to it, it sends you right to the forum. I use one as well - theboardname.com sends people to theboardname.proboards7.com. .co.uk is very popurlar for that.

edit- frufru I think it's auto.

Can you host files on your account or is it a domain?

.net will work. Depending on how (and where) you registered it you will need to do different things. Homepage on ProBoards? You do not need anything from there to link to your site.
