I wanted to change the primary domain of my board to one that I have successfully added in the ACP. But when I made the change, it didn't seem to work: 1. I had another window open w/ my board; refreshed and the domain didn't change to the new one. 2. Manually typed in the new domain, which took me to the front page of my site, and then tried to log in. I then got a 404 not found error. The web address was start.[mydomain].com. My board is http://z7.invisionfree.com/SpavinMavens/ and my custom domain is www.spavinmavens.com Any ideas of what I might have done wrong? |

Hi there. Where did you register the domain? Can you supply us with a screenshot of the CNAME and A-records page in your domain account so that we can see what you did to point your domain to our servers? ![]() Jonathan |

It's a godaddy.com domain, but it was registered through google. I'll see if I can get you a screen shot. |

Here's a pic I took of it a while back. I believe the only thing that's changed is that the first line is no longer pending setup.

Edit the CNAME record which currently has a host of www. Change it so instead of the host being www, it's spavinmavens.com. instead (With the . at the end). ![]() Jonathan |

Your domain still doesn't appear to be working for me, so I'm going to add the following suggestion: Remove the last 3 A-records you have in that list - only the first one should be needed. ![]() Jonathan |

Thank you for the follow-up. Actually, I think it's working now. It took me a while to actually make the change. |
